JavaScript Set entries() Method

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:




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:




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' ]
