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 obsolescent for the ambiguity 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).
