Examples
Using has()
js
const mySet = new Set();
mySet.add("foo");
console.log(mySet.has("foo")); // true
console.log(mySet.has("bar")); // false
const set = new Set();
const obj = { key1: 1 };
set.add(obj);
console.log(set.has(obj)); // true
console.log(set.has({ key1: 1 })); // false, because they are different object references
console.log(set.add({ key1: 1 })); // now set contains 2 entries
