exclude - exclude a value in a set variable system unit
<![CDATA[
procedure Exclude ( var SetVariable : set of SetValues; OneOfSet : SetValues ) ;
Description
The Exclude procedure excludes a set value from a set variable.
A set variable is one that can contain 0, some, or all values of a set. When you Exclude a set value in a set variable, you are removing from the included values in the variable.
Exclude is equivalent to the - operator, as shown here :
Exclude(CardHand, JackOfClubs);
CardHand := CardHand - [JackOfClubs];
For example, you can remove a playing card from a players hand - where the hand is based on a set of all playing cards in a deck.
Use Include to add a value to a set variable. This would, for example, allow a card to be added to a player's hand.

i : Integer;
begin
// Make sure that evenNumbers only contains even numbers
evenNumbers := [0..10];
for i := 0 to 10 do
if (i mod 2) > 0
then Exclude(evenNumbers, i);
// Now display the set contents
for i := 0 to 10 do
if i in evenNumbers
then ShowMessage(IntToStr(i)+' is even');
