Problem

Rent The Runway's inventory services need fast membership checks for garment identifiers. Implement a set from scratch that processes a sequence of operations without using Python's built-in set or dict.

Formal Specification

Write process_set(operations), where operations is a list of two-element lists. The first element is an operation name and the second is an integer value. Support:

  1. add x: Insert x if it is not already present.
  2. remove x: Delete x if present.
  3. contains x: Append true to the result list if x is present, otherwise append false.
  4. size x: Ignore x and append the current number of stored values.

Return the list of outputs produced by contains and size, in operation order. Use a hash table with collision handling and resize it when the load factor exceeds 0.75.

Constraints

  • 1 <= operations.length <= 10^5
  • Each value is an integer in [-10^9, 10^9]
  • Operation names are exactly add, remove, contains, or size
  • Each operation is a valid two-element list
  • Python's built-in set and dict may not be used
