ASPL Checksum Set Operators
Grouping dataset elements based on the checksum of their attributes is realized with five operators: cU c& c\ cD cP. While some elements in a dataset may seem to be different then the others, however they can be categorized to be similar to the others if they have the same checksum. On the other hand, some elements in two datasets can be similar, yet they may differ in their checksums. The checksum operators make it easy for the ASPL user to reveal and to visualize the similarity between elements such as files, Java class names, and even outcomes of tossed dices, using simple command. Getting the intersection, the union, or the paritions of the elements with similar checksum can be realized with cU, c&, and cP operators respectively.
