## Overview
The **`_.set()` method** in Lodash is used to set the value at a specific path of the object.

## Syntax
```
_.set(object, path, value)
```

## Parameters
This method accepts the following parameters:
* **`object`**: This is the object where the given value needs to be set.
* **`path`**: This is the path at which the given value needs to be set.
* **`value`**: This is the value to be set.

## Return value
This method modifies the given object and returns the modified object.

## Example
Let’s look at an example of the `_.set()` method in the code snippet below:


// object that will be modified
const object = {
    'name': 'Shubham Singh Kshatriya',
    'designation': 'Software Enginner',
    'education': {
        'school': {
            'name': 'St. Stephens School',
            'yop': 2017
        }
    }
}

// value to set
const collegeEducation = {
    'name': 'SVIT',
    'yop': 2021
}

// path of the value to be set
const path = 'education.college'

// set the value at given path and print on console
console.log(_.set(object, path, collegeEducation));

console

## Explanation
In the HTML tab:
* **Line 5**: We import the `lodash` script.

In the JavaScript tab:
* **Lines 2 to 11**: We create an object that is to be modified.
* **Lines 14 to 17**: We create an object `collegeEducation` that is the value to be set.
* **Line 20**: We create a variable `path` where the value is  set. 
* **Line 23**: We use the `_.set()` method and pass the `object`, `path` and `value` as parameters. And we print the output on the console.

## Output
The `_.set()` method sets the given value at the specified path and returns the modified object, which is printed to the console.
