If you work with array of integers you may try our contrib/intarray
module:
OPERATIONS:
int[] && int[] - overlap - returns TRUE if arrays has at least one common ele
ments.
int[] @ int[] - contains - returns TRUE if left array contains right array
int[] ~ int[] - contained - returns TRUE if left array is contained in right
array
# int[] - return the number of elements in array
int[] + int - push element to array ( add to end of array)
int[] + int[] - merge of arrays (right array added to the end of left one)
int[] - int - remove entries matched by right argument from array
int[] - int[] - remove right array from left
int[] | int - returns intarray - union of arguments
int[] | int[] - returns intarray as a union of two arrays
int[] & int[] - returns intersection of arrays
int[] @@ query_int - returns TRUE if array satisfies query (like '1&(2|3)')
query_int ~~ int[] - -/-
