python sets not in 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: 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)
