Today, we will tackle two problems demonstrating how JavaScript Sets can streamline your code and optimize performance. Sets in JavaScript are a powerful way to handle collections of unique items, making them the ideal data structure for solving uniqueness and membership testing problems.

Let's begin by considering the function areDisjoint, which takes two arrays and determines if they are disjoint, meaning they have no elements in common. This is crucial when analyzing datasets for overlapping values, similar to ensuring that two puzzle pieces from different puzzles don't fit together.

Think of two companies looking to cross-promote products but wishing to target customers who have yet to interact with both brands. Ensuring that their promotional efforts are disjoint becomes essential.

A naive approach would be to iterate over every element in the first array and, for each one, check every element in the second array for a match. This could be likened to standing at the junction of two busy streets and comparing every passerby on one side with every passerby on the other, looking for twins. The time cost grows prohibitively with the number of "passersby," making this method inefficient for larger datasets.

Consider a scenario with a list of names and a super-fast scanner that can immediately tell you whether a name is on the list. In JavaScript terms, this is what Sets offer via their method — a way to check presence in constant time.
