add method

bool add(E element)

Adds value to the set.

Returns true if value (or an equal value) was not yet in the set. Otherwise returns false and the set is not changed.

Example:

final dateTimes = <DateTime>{};
final time1 = DateTime.fromMillisecondsSinceEpoch(0);
final time2 = DateTime.fromMillisecondsSinceEpoch(0);
// time1 and time2 are equal, but not identical.
assert(time1 == time2);
assert(!identical(time1, time2));
final time1Added = dateTimes.add(time1);
print(time1Added); // true
// A value equal to time2 exists already in the set, and the call to
// add doesn't change the set.
final time2Added = dateTimes.add(time2);
print(time2Added); // false

print(dateTimes); // {1970-01-01 02:00:00.000}
assert(dateTimes.length == 1);
assert(identical(time1, dateTimes.first));
print(dateTimes.length);

Implementation

bool add(E element) {
  bool ret = super.add(element);
  if (ret) {
    _changes.add(SetChange<E>.add(element));
  }
  return ret;
}
