Set
In JavaScript, a Set is a built-in data structure that represents an ordered collection of unique values. It is similar to an array, but with a few key differences. Here are some details about the Set data type:
Unique values: Sets only store unique values, meaning there can't be any duplicates. If you try to add a value that already exists in the Set, it will be ignored.
Order: Like arrays, Sets maintain the order of the elements that are added to them. However, unlike arrays, there is no numerical index associated with each element in a Set.
Methods: Sets have a variety of methods that can be used to add, remove, and check for the existence of elements. Some of these methods include
add
,delete
,has
, andclear
.Iteration: Sets can be iterated over using a
for...of
loop, making it easy to perform operations on each element in the Set.
Here's an example of how to create a Set and add elements to it:
Sets can be a useful data structure in situations where you need to store a collection of unique values and perform operations on them efficiently.
