setOf

fun <T> setOf(vararg elements: T): Set<T>(source)

Returns a new read-only set with the given elements. Elements of the set are iterated in the order they were specified. The returned set is serializable (JVM).

import kotlin.test.*

fun main() { 
   //sampleStart 
   val set1 = setOf(1, 2, 3)
val set2 = setOf(3, 2, 1)

// setOf preserves the iteration order of elements
println(set1) // [1, 2, 3]
println(set2) // [3, 2, 1]

// but the sets with the same elements are equal no matter of order
println("set1 == set2 is ${set1 == set2}") // true 
   //sampleEnd
