It is not invoked for values which have been deleted. However, it is executed for values which are present but have the value undefined.\n\ncallback is invoked with three arguments\n\nthe element value the element key the Set object being traversed\n\nThere are no keys in Set objects, however, so the first two arguments are both values contained in the {{jsxref(\"Set\")}}. This is to make it consistent with other forEach() methods for {{jsxref(\"Map/forEach\", \"Map\")}} and {{jsxref(\"Array/forEach\", \"Array\")}}.\n\nIf a thisArg parameter is provided to forEach(), it will be passed to callback when invoked, for use as its this value. Otherwise, the value undefined will be passed for use as its this value. The this value ultimately observable by callback is determined according to the usual rules for determining the this seen by a function.\n\nEach value is visited once, except in the case when it was deleted and re-added before forEach() has finished. callback is not invoked for values deleted before being visited. New values added before forEach() has finished will be visited.\n\nforEach() executes the callback function once for each element in the Set object; it does not return a value.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from MDN Web Docs under CC-BY-SA-2.5.
