Set (Abstract Data Type)

Computation, Optimization and Control

In computer science, a set is an abstract data type that stores distinct values with no particular order, serving as a computer implementation of the mathematical concept of a finite set. Unlike most other collection types, a set is typically not used to retrieve a specific element but rather to test whether a given value is a member of the collection.
