The Set.entries() method returns a new Iterator object that contains an array of [value, value] for each element in the Set object, in the order of their insertion. Although a Set does not contain key-value pairs, to keep similarities with the map.entries() method, it will return key-value pairs where both key and value will have the same value.
Syntax:
mySet.entries()
Parameters: This method does not accept any parameters.
Return Value: The entries() method returns a new Iterator object that contains an array of [value, value] for each element in the Set object, in insertion order.
Example 1:
Javascript
let myset = new Set(); // Adding new elements to the set myset.add( "California" ); myset.add( "Seattle" ); myset.add( "Chicago" ); // Creating an iterator object const setIterator = myset.entries(); // Getting values with iterator console.log(setIterator.next().value); console.log(setIterator.next().value); console.log(setIterator.next().value); |
Output:
[ 'California', 'California' ] [ 'Seattle', 'Seattle' ] [ 'Chicago', 'Chicago' ]
Example 2:
Javascript
let myset = new Set(); // adding new elements to the set myset.add( "California" ); myset.add( "Seattle" ); myset.add( "Chicago" ); // Creating a iterator object const setIterator = myset.entries(); for (const entry of setIterator) { console.log(entry); } |
Output:
[ 'California', 'California' ] [ 'Seattle', 'Seattle' ] [ 'Chicago', 'Chicago' ]
