Basic Code Solution:

function checkSet() {
  var set = new Set([1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 1]);
  set.add("Taco");
  set.add("Cat");
  set.add("Awesome");
  console.log(Array.from(set));
  return set;
}

checkSet();

Code Explanation:

• Creating a set object as shown in pre-written code will create the set without duplicate objects.
• Therefore, by using the add function, we can add items to the set and they will not be duplicated, and will still be represented in the array.
