In JavaScript, the **`set.delete()` function** is used to remove a specific element from a `set`.

The image below shows a visual representation of the `set.delete()` function:


A **`set`** is a particular instance of a list in which all inputs are unique.



> **Note**: If there are duplicates, the set will only keep the first instance. For example:
`{'Tom','Alsvin','Eddie','Tom'}` will result in `{'Tom','Alsvin','Eddie'}`.

#   
## Syntax

```javascript
set_name.delete(element)
// where the set_name is the name of the set.
```
## Parameter

This function takes **`element`**, which represents the element that is to be removed as a parameter.
## Return value
This function removes the `element` that is sent as a parameter from the `set`.
It returns `true` if the element is present in the `set`. Otherwise, it returns `false`.
## Code
The code below shows how to use the `set.delete()` function in JavaScript:

const set_1 = new Set(["Tom","Alsvin", "Eddie"]); 
//set containing value before delete
console.log("set_1 elements before Delete: ",set_1);

//deleting element from set
console.log("Removing 'Eddie' from the set_1: ",set_1.delete("Eddie"))
//set containing value after delete
console.log("set_1 elements after Delete: ", set_1);

 //trying to remove element not present in set
console.log("Removing 'Jack' from the set_1: ", set_1.delete("Jack"));


## Explanation

-  **Line 1**: We create a set with three values `{'Tom','Alsvin','Eddie'}` and name it `set_1`.

- **Line 6**: We delete an element `Eddie` from `set_1` using the `delete()` method. It returns `true`. 

-  **Line 11**:  If we try to delete an element that is not present in the set, it will return `false`.
