sort
---------
{3,2,1}

int[] sort(int[]) - sort in ascending order
int[] sort_asc(int[]),sort_desc(int[]) - shortcuts for sort
int[] uniq(int[]) - returns unique elements

uniq

int[] - int[] - remove left array from right
int[] - int[] - remove right array from left
int[] | int - returns intarray - union of arguments
