checking sets

wonder, how element check in a set is implemented? is it performance wise/optimized? or switch use is a preferred way?

var
    _set : set of byte; //has for example 20 elements
begin
   if value in _set
      then ...

Re: checking sets

you could write

var _set: set of 0..19;

If you know that there is up to 20 items.
It would minimize the _set memory use to the minimum.

AFAIR maximum set size is of 256 items.
