Stdlib Sets docs error

[calindragomir]

The documentation here reads:

The apply method for a set is the same as contains, so set(elem) is the same as set contains elem.

I believe you meant the other way around.

The apply method for a set is the same as set(elem), so contains is the same as set contains elem.

I wanted to push a fix for this myself, but I can't seem to find sources for the docs there.

Hi @calindragomir! As written, the statement is true --

@ val s = Set('a', 'b', 'c', 'd')
s: Set[Char] = Set('a', 'b', 'c', 'd')

@ s contains 'a'
res1: Boolean = true

@ s('a')
res2: Boolean = true

@ s('e')
res3: Boolean = false

@ s contains 'e'
res4: Boolean = false

The apply method on s (s with (someElem) after it) indeed tests the same thing that s contains someElem does. I think, looking through where these exercises are defined, that apply method on x being a synonym for x() hasn't been introduced before the Sets exercise -- is that correct?
