Use this to find everything that's different between two groups — items in either one but not both — for example, spotting every usage that was added or removed between two versions of a project.
Set vs. List: a List (array) keeps items in order and can hold duplicates — you access items by position, like "the 3rd item." A Set has no order and no duplicates — adding an item that's already there does nothing, and there's no "position" to ask for. Sets are for asking "is this here?" and for comparing groups of things; Lists are for ordered, step-by-step sequences.
This is different from Difference Sets: Difference Sets is one-directional (what's in set1 but not set2), while Xor Sets is two-directional (what's unique to either set, ignoring anything they share).
Category: Sets
Kind: Operation
Description: find the symmetric difference between two sets
Inputs
Name | Abbreviation | Type | Access | Description |
set1 | S1 | Set | Item | the first set |
set2 | S2 | Set | Item | the second set |
Outputs
Name | Abbreviation | Type | Access | Description |
symmetricDifference | SD | Set | Item | the symmetric difference of the two sets |
How to
Add the Xor Sets node.
Feed in two sets.
The output is a new set containing everything that's in exactly one of the two sets, but not both.
