Set is an atomic Smalltalk topic inside Collections. The example below uses the actual construct named by the lesson rather than a generic placeholder.
Focus on what Set changes: the input, binding, control path, object state, collection, runtime effect, or language contract. Then alter one value and verify that the behavior changes for a reason specific to this feature.
Topic-specific example
smalltalk-04-03-set.st
smalltalk
Try It Live
Set withAll: #(1 1 2 3).
Edge case / engineering note
Check the input collection shape, whether the operation mutates or returns a new value, and what happens for an empty collection.
