Remove from Set

Remove an item from a set

Written by Holly Conrad Smith

Use this to take an item out of a set — for example, excluding a usage type or parcel ID you've already handled from further comparisons.

Set vs. List: a List (array) keeps items in order and can hold duplicates — you access items by position, like "the 3rd item." A Set has no order and no duplicates — adding an item that's already there does nothing, and there's no "position" to ask for. Sets are for asking "is this here?" and for comparing groups of things; Lists are for ordered, step-by-step sequences.
