Return Value: The Set.values() method returns a new iterator object which holds the values for each element present in the set.

The below examples illustrate the Set.values() method:

Example 1:

Javascript

let myset = new Set();
 
// Adding new element to the set
myset.add("California");
myset.add("Seattle");
myset.add("Chicago");
 
// Creating a iterator object
const setIterator = myset.values();
 
// Getting values with iterator
console.log(setIterator.next().value);
console.log(setIterator.next().value);
console.log(setIterator.next().value);

Output:

Seattle
Chicago

Example 2:

// Adding new element to the set
myset.add("California");
myset.add("Seattle");
myset.add("Chicago");
 
// Creating a iterator object

// Getting values with iterator using
// the size property of Set
