"""
Set operations for arrays based on sorting.

Notes
-----

For floating point arrays, inaccurate results may appear due to usual round-off
and floating point comparison issues.

Speed could be gained in some operations by an implementation of
`numpy.sort`, that can provide directly the permutation vectors, thus avoiding
calls to `numpy.argsort`.

    Find the unique elements of an array.

    Returns the sorted unique elements of an array. There are three optional
    outputs in addition to the unique elements:

    * the indices of the input array that give the unique values
    * the indices of the unique array that reconstruct the input array
    * the number of times each unique value comes up in the input array

    Parameters
    ----------
    ar : array_like
        Input array. Unless `axis` is specified, this will be flattened if it
        is not already 1-D.
    return_index : bool, optional
        If True, also return the indices of `ar` (along the specified axis,
        if provided, or in the flattened array) that result in the unique array.
    return_inverse : bool, optional
        If True, also return the indices of the unique array (for the specified
        axis, if provided) that can be used to reconstruct `ar`.
    return_counts : bool, optional
        If True, also return the number of times each unique item appears
        in `ar`.

        .. versionadded:: 1.9.0

    axis : int or None, optional
        The axis to operate on. If None, `ar` will be flattened. If an integer,
        the subarrays indexed by the given axis will be flattened and treated
        as the elements of a 1-D array with the dimension of the given axis,
        see the notes for more details.  Object arrays or structured arrays
        that contain objects are not supported if the `axis` kwarg is used. The
        default is None.

        .. versionadded:: 1.13.0

    Returns
    -------
    unique : ndarray
        The sorted unique values.
    unique_indices : ndarray, optional
        The indices of the first occurrences of the unique values in the
        original array. Only provided if `return_index` is True.
    unique_inverse : ndarray, optional
        The indices to reconstruct the original array from the
        unique array. Only provided if `return_inverse` is True.
    unique_counts : ndarray, optional
        The number of times each of the unique values comes up in the
        original array. Only provided if `return_counts` is True.

        .. versionadded:: 1.9.0

    --------
    numpy.lib.arraysetops : Module with a number of other functions for
                            performing set operations on arrays.
    repeat : Repeat elements of an array.

    Notes
    -----
    When an axis is specified the subarrays indexed by the axis are sorted.
    This is done by making the specified axis the first dimension of the array
    (move the axis to the first dimension to keep the order of the other axes)
    and then flattening the subarrays in C order. The flattened subarrays are
    then viewed as a structured type with each element given a label, with the
    effect that we end up with a 1-D array of structured types that can be
    treated in the same way as any other 1-D array. The result is that the
    flattened subarrays are sorted in lexicographic order starting with the
    first element.

    .. versionchanged: NumPy 1.21
        If nan values are in the input array, a single nan is put
        to the end of the sorted unique values.

        Also for complex arrays all NaN values are considered equivalent
        (no matter whether the NaN is in the real or imaginary part).
        As the representant for the returned array the smallest one in the
        lexicographical order is chosen - see np.sort for how the lexicographical
        order is defined for complex arrays.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> np.unique([1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3])
    array([1, 2, 3])
    >>> a = np.array([[1, 1], [2, 3]])
    >>> np.unique(a)
    array([1, 2, 3])

    Return the unique rows of a 2D array

    >>> a = np.array([[1, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0], [2, 3, 4]])
    >>> np.unique(a, axis=0)
    array([[1, 0, 0], [2, 3, 4]])

    Return the indices of the original array that give the unique values:

    >>> a = np.array(['a', 'b', 'b', 'c', 'a'])
    >>> u, indices = np.unique(a, return_index=True)
    >>> u
    array(['a', 'b', 'c'], dtype='<U1')
    >>> indices
    array([0, 1, 3])
    >>> a[indices]
    array(['a', 'b', 'c'], dtype='<U1')

    Reconstruct the input array from the unique values and inverse:

    equivalent to ``np.array([item in b for item in a])``.
    However, this idea fails if `ar2` is a set, or similar (non-sequence)

    Calculates `element in test_elements`, broadcasting over `element` only.
    Returns a boolean array of the same shape as `element` that is True
    where an element of `element` is in `test_elements` and False otherwise.

    Parameters
    ----------
    element : array_like
        Input array.
    test_elements : array_like
        The values against which to test each value of `element`.
        This argument is flattened if it is an array or array_like.
        See notes for behavior with non-array-like parameters.
    assume_unique : bool, optional
        If True, the input arrays are both assumed to be unique, which
        can speed up the calculation.  Default is False.
    invert : bool, optional
        If True, the values in the returned array are inverted, as if
        calculating `element not in test_elements`. Default is False.
        ``np.isin(a, b, invert=True)`` is equivalent to (but faster
        than) ``np.invert(np.isin(a, b))``.

    Returns
    -------
    isin : ndarray, bool
        Has the same shape as `element`. The values `element[isin]`
        are in `test_elements`.

    --------
    in1d                  : Flattened version of this function.

    Notes
    -----

    `isin` is an element-wise function version of the python keyword `in`.
    ``isin(a, b)`` is roughly equivalent to
    ``np.array([item in b for item in a])`` if `a` and `b` are 1-D sequences.

    `element` and `test_elements` are converted to arrays if they are not
    already. If `test_elements` is a set (or other non-sequence collection)
    it will be converted to an object array with one element, rather than an
    array of the values contained in `test_elements`. This is a consequence
    of the `array` constructor's way of handling non-sequence collections.
    Converting the set to a list usually gives the desired behavior.

    .. versionadded:: 1.13.0

    Examples
    --------
    >>> element = 2*np.arange(4).reshape((2, 2))
    >>> element
    array([[0, 2],
           [4, 6]])
    >>> test_elements = [1, 2, 4, 8]
    >>> mask = np.isin(element, test_elements)
    >>> mask
    array([[False,  True],
           [ True, False]])
    >>> element[mask]
    array([2, 4])

    The indices of the matched values can be obtained with `nonzero`:

    >>> np.nonzero(mask)
    (array([0, 1]), array([1, 0]))

    The test can also be inverted:

    >>> mask = np.isin(element, test_elements, invert=True)
    >>> mask
    array([[ True, False],
           [False,  True]])
    >>> element[mask]
    array([0, 6])

    Because of how `array` handles sets, the following does not
    work as expected:

    >>> test_set = {1, 2, 4, 8}
    >>> np.isin(element, test_set)
    array([[False, False],
           [False, False]])

    Casting the set to a list gives the expected result:

    >>> np.isin(element, list(test_set))
    array([[False,  True],
           [ True, False]])
