set() python code example

Example 1: empty set python

# Distinguish set and dictionary while creating empty set

# initialize a with {}
a = {}

# check data type of a
print(type(a))

# initialize a with set()
a = set()

# check data type of a
print(type(a))

Example 2: python set &

>>> A = {0, 2, 4, 6, 8};
>>> B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

>>> print("Union :", A | B)  
Union : {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8}

>>> print("Intersection :", A & B)
Intersection : {2, 4}

>>> print("Difference :", A - B)
Difference : {0, 8, 6}

# elements not present both sets
>>> print("Symmetric difference :", A ^ B)   
Symmetric difference : {0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 8}

Example 3: 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 4: 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)  // 1

3. Set conatins unique elements

Example 5: 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)
