set in method code example

Example 1: set in javascript

let mySet = new Set()

mySet.add(1)           // Set [ 1 ]
mySet.add(5)           // Set [ 1, 5 ]
mySet.add(5)           // Set [ 1, 5 ]
mySet.add('some text') // Set [ 1, 5, 'some text' ]
let o = {a: 1, b: 2}
mySet.add(o)

mySet.add({a: 1, b: 2})   // o is referencing a different object, so this is okay

mySet.has(1)              // true
mySet.has(3)              // false, since 3 has not been added to the set
mySet.has(5)              // true
mySet.has(Math.sqrt(25))  // true
mySet.has('Some Text'.toLowerCase()) // true
mySet.has(o)       // true

mySet.size         // 5

mySet.delete(5)    // removes 5 from the set
mySet.has(5)       // false, 5 has been removed

mySet.size         // 4, since we just removed one value

console.log(mySet)
// logs Set(4) [ 1, "some text", {…}, {…} ] in Firefox
// logs Set(4) { 1, "some text", {…}, {…} } in Chrome

Example 2: set in javascript

// set is used for storing unique values
const firstSet = new Set([1, 2, 3]);

firstSet.add('hi'); //adding value to set

firstSet.add(3); //this will not give any error and it will also not be added

firstSet.delete('hi');//removing value from set

console.log(firstSet.has('hi'));//checking 'hi' is in the set or not

// showing all values in the set
console.log(firstSet);
for (const entry of firstSet.values()) {
    console.log(entry);
