            * Value of First Element of Set : *(s.begin())
            * Value of Last Element of Set : *(--s.end())
            ! To erase an element by value: s.erase(x);
            * begin() - returns an iterator to first element of set. The value of the element can be accessed using *(s.begin())
            * end() - Returns an iterator to the theoretical element that follows last element in the set.
            * size() - Returns the number of elements in the set.
            * max_size() - Returns the maximum number of elements that the set can hold.
            * empty() - Returns whether the set is empty.
            ! find(x) - Returns an iterator to the element ‘x’ in the set if found, else returns the iterator to end.
            * erase(x)– Removes the value ‘x’ from the set. It erases an element by value
            * count(x) - Returns 1 or 0 based on the element ‘x’ is present in the set or not. It's the best way to check for the presence of an element.
            * lower_bound(x) – Returns an iterator to the first element that is equivalent to ‘x’ or definitely will not go before the element ‘x’ in the set.
            lower_bound can also be thought as the smallest element greater than or equal to x

            * Set to be sorted in decreasing order: set<int, greater<int> >
            * emplace() : If the function successfully inserts the element (because no
                    equivalent element existed already in the set), the function returns a
                    pair of an iterator to the newly inserted element and a value of true.
            * const bool is_in = s.find(x) != s.end(); check if an element is in the set.

        ? Deque
            Double ended queues are sequence containers with the feature of expansion and contraction on both the ends.
            They are similar to vectors, but are more efficient in case of insertion and deletion of elements.
            Unlike vectors, contiguous storage allocation may not be guaranteed.
