I am a bit confused

var mySet = new Set();
mySet.add('foo');

mySet.delete('bar'); // Returns false. No "bar" element found to be deleted.
mySet.delete('foo'); // Returns true.  Successfully removed.

mySet.has('foo');    // Returns false. The "foo" element is no longer present.

What does var mySet = new Set(); mean?

It creates a new, empty set object in the variable mySet.

It's necessary to be able to call the .add method to give it items.
