using new Set in js 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);
