To import and use the container/set package in Go, you can follow these steps:
Open your Go file and add the import statement:
import "container/set"
Create and initialize a new set:
mySet := set.New()
Add elements to the set:
mySet.Add("apple")
mySet.Add("banana")
mySet.Add("orange")
Check if an element exists in the set:
exists := mySet.Has("banana")
fmt.Println(exists) // Output: true
Remove an element from the set:
mySet.Remove("banana")
exists = mySet.Has("banana")
fmt.Println(exists) // Output: false
Get the number of elements in the set:
size := mySet.Size()
fmt.Println(size) // Output: 2
Iterate over the elements of the set:
for element := range mySet.Iter() {
fmt.Println(element)
}
This will print:
apple
orange
Note: The container/set package in Go is deprecated and is no longer recommended for use. Instead, you can use the native map data structure or use a third-party package like "github.com/deckarep/golang-set" for a more comprehensive set implementation.
