python what is a set code example
Example 1: python sets
# You can't create a set like this in Python
my_set = {} # ---- This is a Dictionary/Hashmap
# To create a empty set you have to use the built in method:
my_set = set() # Correct!
set_example = {1,3,2,5,3,6}
print(set_example)
# OUTPUT
# {1,3,2,5,6} ---- Sets do not contain duplicates and are unordered
Example 2: sets in python
The simplest way to create set is:
1. from list
code:
s = [1,2,3]
set = set(s)
print(set)
2. s,add() method
code:
set.add(1)
set.add(2)
set.remove(2)
print(set)
3. Set conatins unique elements
Example 3: python set
# A set contains unique elements of which the order is not important
s = set()
s.add(1)
s.add(2)
s.remove(1)
print(s)
# Can also be created from a list (or some other data structures)
num_list = [1,2,3]
set_from_list = set(num_list)
Example 4: set in python
A_Set = {1, 2, "hi", "test"}
for i in A_Set: #Loops through the set. You only get the value not the index
print(i) #Prints the current value
