Freeze Set Object

Introduction

In this lab, we will explore how to create a frozen Set object in JavaScript. The purpose of this lab is to understand how to prevent modifications to a Set object by setting its add, delete, and clear methods to undefined. By the end of this lab, you will have a good understanding of how to create a frozen Set object and why it can be useful in certain scenarios.

Creating a Frozen Set Object in JavaScript

To create a frozen Set object in JavaScript, follow these steps:

1. Open the Terminal/SSH and type node to start practicing coding.
2. Use the Set constructor to create a new Set object from iterable.
3. Set the add, delete, and clear methods of the newly created object to undefined to effectively freeze the object.

Here's an example code snippet:

const frozenSet = (iterable) => {
  const s = new Set(iterable);
  s.add = undefined;
  s.delete = undefined;
  s.clear = undefined;
  return s;
};

console.log(frozenSet([1, 2, 3, 1, 2]));
// Output: Set { 1, 2, 3, add: undefined, delete: undefined, clear: undefined }

This code creates a frozen Set object from an iterable of numbers and returns the object with its add, delete, and clear methods set to undefined.
