SetToString

Convert set to a string description

Declaration

Source position: typinfo.pp line 425

Description

SetToString takes an integer representation of a set (as received e.g. by GetOrdProp) and turns it into a string representing the elements in the set, based on the type information found in the PropInfo property information. By default, the string representation is not surrounded by square brackets. Setting the Brackets parameter to True will surround the string representation with brackets.

The function returns the string representation of the set.

Errors

No checking is done to see whether PropInfo points to valid property information.
