Description: A mutable set in Kotlin is a collection that allows modification of its elements after it has been created. Unlike an immutable set, which does not permit changes to its content, a mutable set offers the flexibility to add, remove, or modify elements at any time. This feature is particularly useful in situations where dynamic data management is required, such as in applications handling various types of information that may change over time. Mutable sets in Kotlin are implemented through the ‘MutableSet’ interface, which extends the ‘Set’ interface. This means they inherit all the properties of a set, such as the non-duplication of elements, but add additional methods that allow modification. Operations that can be performed on a mutable set include ‘add’, ‘remove’, and ‘clear’, providing full control over the elements it contains. The ability to modify a set after its creation is fundamental in software development, as it allows programmers to manage data more efficiently and adaptively, facilitating the creation of more interactive and responsive applications.
