 - STL sets are ordered containers storing unique “keys”. An ordering relation on the keys, which defaults to
 operator<, is necessary. Because STL sets are ordered, they are technically not traditional mathematical sets.
 - Sets are like maps except they have only keys, there are no associated values. Like maps, the keys are constant.
-This means you can’t change a key while it is in the set. You must remove it, change it, and then reinsert it.

 - Access to items in sets is extremely fast! O(log n), just like maps, but sets do not have the [] operator, and
