Hey all, time for a first question, though it's not really programming related. At the 6 minute mark in the video 'Sets', the language C# is added to the uniqueLanguages set, but at about 6.45 when we are being shown sorted sets, it has disappeared! Ghosts or an editing snafu?

SortedSet<String> uniqueLanguages = new TreeSet<String>(allLanguages)
The uniqueList variable is assigned to a new TreeSet, meaning that they replaced the current Set that existed within the variable with the new SortedSet. Since the allLanguages list is passed in during its creating the list ends up not empty even though it was recreated, but it will only contain the items in the allLanguages list, the items assigned to it previously will disappear since the variable was reassigned to a completely new TreeSet.
So to answer your question it's neither a dodgy edit or a bug.
