Name Rascal/Libraries/Prelude/Set/toList

Synopsis Convert a set to a list.

Function list[&T] toList(set[&T] st)

Usage import Set;

Examples

rascal>import Set;
ok
rascal>toList({1, 2, 3, 4});
list[int]: [4,3,2,1]
rascal>toList({"elephant", "zebra", "snake"});
list[str]: ["elephant","zebra","snake"]

Note that the same result can be obtained using splicing:

rascal>s = {1,2,3,4};
set[int]: {1,2,3,4}
rascal>l = [*s];
list[int]: [1,2,3,4]

Pitfalls Recall that the elements of a set are unordered and that there is no guarantee in which order the set elements will be placed in the resulting list.
