# SetMixin<E> class

Mixin implementation of Set.

This class provides a base implementation of a `Set` that depends only on the abstract members: add, contains, lookup, remove, iterator, length and toSet.

Some of the methods assume that `toSet` creates a modifiable set. If using this mixin for an unmodifiable set, where `toSet` should return an unmodifiable set, it's necessary to reimplement retainAll, union, intersection and difference.

Implementations of `Set` using this mixin should consider also implementing `clear` in constant time. The default implementation works by removing every element.

## Methods

add(E value) → bool
  Adds `value` to the set. [...]
addAll(Iterable<E> elements) → void
  Adds all `elements` to this Set. [...]
any(bool test(E element)) → bool
  Checks whether any element of this iterable satisfies `test`. [...]
cast<R>() → Set<R>
  Provides a view of this set as a set of `R` instances. [...]
clear() → void
  Removes all elements in the set.
contains(Object element) → bool
  Returns true if `value` is in the set.
containsAll(Iterable<Object> other) → bool
  Returns whether this Set contains all the elements of `other`.
difference(Set<Object> other) → Set<E>
  Returns a new set with the elements of this that are not in `other`. [...]
elementAt(int index) → E
  Returns the `index`th element. [...]
every(bool f(E element)) → bool
  Checks whether every element of this iterable satisfies `test`. [...]
expand<T>(Iterable<T> f(E element)) → Iterable<T>
  Expands each element of this Iterable into zero or more elements. [...]
firstWhere(bool test(E value), { E orElse() }) → E
  Returns the first element that satisfies the given predicate `test`. [...]
fold<T>(T initialValue, T combine(T previousValue, E element)) → T
  Reduces a collection to a single value by iteratively combining each element of the collection with an existing value [...]
followedBy(Iterable<E> other) → Iterable<E>
  Returns the lazy concatentation of this iterable and `other`. [...]
forEach(void f(E element)) → void
  Applies the function `f` to each element of this collection in iteration order.
intersection(Set<Object> other) → Set<E>
  Returns a new set which is the intersection between this set and `other`. [...]
join([String separator = "" ]) → String
  Converts each element to a String and concatenates the strings. [...]
lastWhere(bool test(E value), { E orElse() }) → E
  Returns the last element that satisfies the given predicate `test`. [...]
lookup(Object element) → E
  If an object equal to `object` is in the set, return it. [...]
map<T>(T f(E element)) → Iterable<T>
  Returns a new lazy Iterable with elements that are created by calling `f` on each element of this `Iterable` in iteration order. [...]
reduce(E combine(E value, E element)) → E
  Reduces a collection to a single value by iteratively combining elements of the collection using the provided function. [...]
remove(Object value) → bool
  Removes `value` from the set. Returns true if `value` was in the set. Returns false otherwise. The method has no effect if `value` value was not in the set.
removeAll(Iterable<Object> elements) → void
  Removes each element of `elements` from this set.
removeWhere(bool test(E element)) → void
  Removes all elements of this set that satisfy `test`.

  Removes all elements of this set that fail to satisfy `test`.
singleWhere(bool test(E value), { E orElse() }) → E
  Returns the single element that satisfies `test`. [...]
skip(int n) → Iterable<E>
  Returns an Iterable that provides all but the first `count` elements. [...]
skipWhile(bool test(E value)) → Iterable<E>
  Returns an `Iterable` that skips leading elements while `test` is satisfied. [...]
take(int n) → Iterable<E>
  Returns a lazy iterable of the `count` first elements of this iterable. [...]
takeWhile(bool test(E value)) → Iterable<E>
  Returns a lazy iterable of the leading elements satisfying `test`. [...]
toList({bool growable: true }) → List<E>
