![Task](http://static.miraheze.org/rosettacodewiki/thumb/b/ba/Rcode-button-task-crushed.png/64px-Rcode-button-task-crushed.png)
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
The card game, Set, is played with a pack of 81 cards, each of which depicts either one, two, or three diamonds, ovals, or squiggles. The symbols are coloured red, green, or purple, and the shading is either solid, striped, or open. No two cards are identical.
In the game a number of cards are layed out face up and the players try to identify "sets" within the cards.
A set is three cards where either the symbols on the cards are all the same or they are all different, the number of symbols on the cards are all the same or all different, the colours are all the same or all different, and the shadings are all the same or all different.
For example, this is a set:
two solid green ovals one open green squiggle three striped green diamonds
because each card depicts a different symbol, the number of symbols on each card is different, the colours are all the same, and the shadings are all different.
This is not a set:
two solid purple ovals one open green squiggle three striped green diamonds
because two of the cards are green and one is purple, so the colours are neither all the same nor all different.
- task
- Create a representation of a pack of Set cards, shuffle it, select a specified number of cards from the pack and list them in the output.
- Identify the sets in the selected cards and list them.
- Also see
- The Wikipedia article, Set (card game)
Acornsoft Lisp
The Set puzzle task is so similar that the same solution can be used. Just redefine play
from
(defun play ((n-cards . 9))
(find-enough-sets n-cards (quotient n-cards 2)))
to
(defun play ((n-cards . 9))
(find-enough-sets n-cards 0))

Common Lisp
The Set puzzle task is so similar that the Common Lisp solution there could be used with only slight modification. Here we take a somewhat more different approach by creating the deck as a vector, so that it can be shuffled more efficiently, rather than taking a random sample from the deck represented as a list.
Compare Acornsoft Lisp above.
(defparameter numbers '(one two three))
(defparameter shadings '(solid open striped))
(defparameter colours '(red green purple))
(defparameter symbols '(oval squiggle diamond))
(defun play (&optional (n-cards 9))
(let* ((deck (make-deck))
(deal (take n-cards (shuffle deck)))
(sets (find-sets deal)))
(show-cards deal)
(show-sets sets)))
(defun show-cards (cards)
(format t "~D cards~%~{~(~{~10S~}~)~%~}~%"
(length cards) cards))
(defun show-sets (sets)
(format t "~D sets~2%~:{~(~@{~{~8S~}~%~}~)~%~}"
(length sets) sets))
(defun find-sets (deal)
(remove-if-not #'is-set (combinations 3 deal)))
(defun is-set (cards)
(every #'feature-makes-set (transpose cards)))
(defun feature-makes-set (feature-values)
(or (all-same feature-values)
(all-different feature-values)))
(defun combinations (n items)
(cond
((zerop n) '(()))
((null items) '())
(t (append
(mapcar (lambda (c) (cons (car items) c))
(combinations (1- n) (cdr items)))
(combinations n (cdr items))))))
;;; Making a deck
(defun make-deck ()
(let ((deck (make-array (list (expt 3 4))))
(i -1))
(dolist (n numbers deck)
(dolist (sh shadings)
(dolist (c colours)
(dolist (sy symbols)
(setf (svref deck (incf i))

;;; Utilities
(defun shuffle (deck)

- Output:
Depending on which Common Lisp you use, calling (play)
might output:

Works with gojq, the Go implementation of jq
The following solution adapts the program given on the RosettaCode.org companion page at Set_puzzle#jq. There, the foundations for a generic version of the Set game are laid, with arbitrarily many attributes and values.
To avoid duplication, the functions given there are not repeated here. Instead, here is a guide for adapting the code:
(1) After the `include` directive for including the MRG32k3a module, add the following code:
def values: { "Number": ["one", "two", "three"], "Shading": ["solid", "striped", "open"], "Color": ["red", "green", "purple"], "Symbol": ["diamond", "oval", "squiggle"] };
(2) In place of the `task` definition, insert the following code:
# pretty-print a single card, interpreting the attribute values
def pp:
[attributes, .] | transpose
| map( values[.[0]][.[1]]|lpad(8) )
| join(" ");
# Pretty-print up to 1000 trios
def findSets:
[combinations(3) | select(isSet)] as $sets
| "Sets present: \($sets|length)",
($sets[:1000][] | (.[] | pp), ""),
if ($sets|length) > 1000 then "... etc ..." else empty end ;
def task:
def prompt: "Enter number of cards to deal: 3 to 81, or q to quit: ";
createDeck(number_of_values)
| shuffle # shuffle for each deal
| . as $pack
| prompt,
(try input catch halt
| if . == "q" then halt end
| try tonumber catch halt
| if . < 3 then task
else $pack[0: 1 + tonumber]
| findSets
end),
task;

Cards are 0..80 in decimal, which is 0000..2222 in base 3, and we can just subtract '/' from each digit to get indexes 1..3 to the constants.

Quackery
Why does isset
, the word that tests if three cards constitute a set, use +
and mod
?
If we map any of the properties, say colour, onto the numbers 0, 1 and 2, then the sum of three colours mod 3 is 0 if and only if all the colours are different or all the colours are the same. This can be confirmed exhaustively, or for the underlying mathematics see the first two paragraphs of the section "A Mathematical Perspective" (pages 7 and 8) in this paper:
transpose
is defined at Matrix transposition#Quackery.
comb
and arrange
are defined at Combinations#Quackery.
