/*********************************************************
Maps – Like Objects they have keys and values
(unique keys) – same as Objects
.size
.set(key, value)
.delete(key)
.get(key)
.has(key)
.keys( ) – returns Iterator with array of keys
.values( ) – returns Iterator with array of values
.entries( ) – returns Iterator with array of [key, values]
.clear( )
.forEach( )
Sets – Like Arrays they have values
(unique values) - remove non-unique values from an Array
.size
.add(value)
.delete(value)
.entries( ) – returns Iterator with array of [value, value]
.values( ) – returns Iterator with array of values
.has(value)
.clear( )
.forEach( )
