# HashSet<E>.from constructor

HashSet<E>.from(Iterable elements)

Create a hash set containing all `elements`.

Creates a hash set as by `new HashSet<E>()` and adds all given `elements` to the set. The elements are added in order. If `elements` contains two entries that are equal, but not identical, then the first one is the one in the resulting set.

All the `elements` should be instances of `E`. The `elements` iterable itself may have any element type, so this constructor can be used to down-cast a `Set`, for example as:

    Set<SuperType> superSet = ...;
    Set<SubType> subSet =
        new HashSet<SubType>.from(superSet.whereType<SubType>());

## Implementation

    factory HashSet.from(Iterable elements) {
      HashSet<E> result = HashSet<E>();
      for (final e in elements) {
        result.add(e);
      }
      return result;
    }
