Set

Defining a Set

  • A set is a collection that:

    • Can't be ordered
    • Is unindexed
    • Is mutable
    • Only includes immutables
    • Excludes duplicates

Creating a Set

>>> fruits = {'apple', 'banana', 'pear'}
>>> print(fruits)
{'pear', 'banana', 'apple'}

Adding to a Set

>>> fruits = {'apple', 'banana', 'pear'}
>>> fruits.add('orange')
>>> print(fruits)
{'pear', 'orange', 'banana', 'apple'}

Removing from a Set

>>> fruits = {'apple', 'banana', 'pear'}
>>> fruits.remove('banana')
>>> print(fruits)
{'pear', 'apple'}

Combining Two Sets

>>> fruits = {'apple', 'banana', 'pear'}
>>> more_fruits = ['orange', 'pear', 'mango']
>>> fruits | more_fruits
('orange', 'pear', 'mango', 'banana', 'apple')
