python using unique sets 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 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)
