Answer from AI

In iOS, set elements (for example, in NSSet or Set in Swift) can be of any type that conforms to the Hashable protocol. This means that elements must have a unique hash and be comparable for equality.

Element types can be:

  • Primitive types: Int, String, Double, etc.
  • User-defined structures and classes that implement the Hashable protocol.

For example, in Swift:

let numbers: Set<Int> = [1, 2, 3]
let names: Set<String> = ["Anna", "Boris", "Viktor"]

struct Person: Hashable {
    let id: Int
    let name: String
}

let people: Set<Person> = [Person(id: 1, name: "Ivan"), Person(id: 2, name: "Maria")]

Thus, the set contains unique elements that can be of any type supporting hashing and comparison.
