Well I need to compare arrays which contain digits (or letters in 
another program). If I use set it is easy to compare two sets which have 
the same, unique elements in random order for example 1233 and 3321 
should be equal. If I use set I will get wrong result for 1332 and 2213 
– it shouldn't be equal. However, the array might contain elements with 
the same value and it is what I neeed.

Solution is quite simple: I don't need Set. If I sort arrays I can 
compare them easily (for numbers). Thanks for Bag solutions, it's quite 
interesting and I may need it in future.

Thank you for your answers,
