    Hi Aditya,

    Add method is used to insert the element and Set method is used to update the Values .

    Hi Aditya,

    add() method adds your specified element to the list at the specified index, the element which previously existed at that particular index and all the following elements will shift 1 index , and the previous element still exists.

    Whereas in set() method the element is replaced by the element we want to insert at that particular index.

    ex:-

    a list - [1,2,3,4,5,6]

    on add(0, 9)

    the list will be [9,1,2,3,4,5,6]

    on set(0,9)

    the list will be

    [9,2,3,4,5,6]

    hope it helps.
