Try to pair program ![:busts_in_silhouette:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/busts_in_silhouette.png?v=3 ":busts_in_silhouette:") and write your own code ![:pencil:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/pencil.png?v=3 ":pencil:")
### ![:checkered_flag:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/checkered_flag.png?v=3 ":checkered_flag:") Problem Explanation:
To solve this problem, you have to add an array of items to the set.

```js
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));

### 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.
