a collection that does not allow duplicate elements. Common implementations include HashSet,

LinkedHashSet, and TreeSet.

- HashSet: Unordered and allows null.

- LinkedHashSet: Maintains insertion order.

- TreeSet: Sorted set, no null allowed (uses natural ordering or custom Comparator).

add(E e)

Adds the specified element to the set if it is not already present.

Example:

Set<String> set = new HashSet<>();

[Link]("Java");

addAll(Collection<? extends E> c)

Adds all elements from the specified collection.

Example:

[Link]([Link]("Python", "C++"));

remove(Object o)

Removes the specified element if present.

Example:

[Link]("C++");

clear()

contains(Object o)

isEmpty()

Checks if the set is empty.

size()

Returns the number of elements.

Example:

[Link]();

iterator()

Returns an iterator to traverse elements.

Example:

Iterator<String> it = [Link]();

toArray()

Converts the set to an array.

retainAll(Collection<?> c)
