Well, to me at least it is clear that when the OP writes "I want to
find the *set* of *keys*..." (emphasis added), then setting aside the
rest of the problem statement, the result of the algorithm should be a
set (or at least something set-like), and the contents of the set
should be keys.  The posted code produces neither a set nor any keys;
it prints out the same predetermined non-key value multiple times.
