MakeSet

remove duplicates from a list
Syntax

MakeSet(L:LIST):LIST


Description
This function returns a list obtained by removing duplicates from L. It used to be called Set, but this is deprecated for the abiguity with the command named Set-Unset for setting panel options.

Example
MakeSet([2,2,2,1,2,1,1,3,3]);
[2, 1, 3]
-------------------------------
WARNING: to test two sets for equality use the function EqSet instead of a normal equality test (because the latter yields false if the elements are in a different order).
