Sets in ES6

Página 1

Every item in a set is guaranteed to be unique - an item will not be added to a set if it already exists.

So you don't have to iterate every element of an array to see if it exists.

var collection = new Set([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);var newElements = [4, 8, 10];

for(var i = 0; i

collection.add(newElements[i]);

}
