Bitmask
The set contains only the integers 1 through 20, so store membership in one int. Map value x to bit position x - 1: 1 << (x - 1) creates a mask with exactly that bit set. Shifts are zero-based, which is why the value must be decremented. The full-set mask is (1 << 20) - 1, whose low 20 bits are all 1; 0 represents the empty set.
For add, OR the mask into the set; for remove, AND with its complement; for check, AND and test for a nonzero result; and for toggle, XOR. all assigns the full mask, while empty clears it. The input guarantees each value command uses 1 <= x <= 20; add and remove are safe even when membership is already in the requested state. Each command takes O(1) time and the set uses O(1) space.
