What is StandardSetController Class?

StandardSetController objects allow you to create list controllers similar to, or as extensions of, the pre-built Visualforce list controllers provided by Salesforce.

Instantiation of Standardset Controller is 

You can instantiate a StandardSetController in either of the following ways:

From a list of sObjects:

List<account> accountList = [SELECT Name FROM Account LIMIT 20];
ApexPages.StandardSetController ssc = new ApexPages.StandardSetController(accountList);

From a query locator:

ApexPages.StandardSetController ssc = 
new ApexPages.StandardSetController(Database.getQueryLocator([SELECT Name,CloseDate FROM Opportunity]));
