Example 1:




#Ruby program to illustrate the add ? method
  
#requires the set
require "set"
  
    s1
    = Set[2, 1]
  
#Enters 4 into it
      puts s1.add
    ? (4)
  
#Enters 4 into it
#But set has already 4
          puts s1.add
    ? (4)


Output:

Set: {2, 1, 4}

Example 2:




#Ruby program to illustrate the add ? method
  
#requires the set
require "set"
  
    s1
    = Set[5]
  
#Enters 5 into it
#But set has already 5
      puts s1.add
    ? (5)
  
#Enters 8 into it
          puts s1.add
    ? (8)
