add() and update() methods
>>> set1 {'Monday', 'Sunday', 'Tuesday'} >>> set2 {'Wednesday', 'Friday', 'Thursday', 'Saturday'} >>> set1.add('Friday')#Add one element >>> set1 {'Monday', 'Friday', 'Sunday', 'Tuesday'} >>> set2.update(['Sunday','Friday'])#Add one or more element(s) >>> set2 {'Wednesday', 'Friday', 'Sunday', 'Thursday', 'Saturday'}
remove(), discard(), and pop() methods
>>> set1 {'Monday', 'Friday', 'Sunday', 'Tuesday'} >>> set2 {'Wednesday', 'Friday', 'Sunday', 'Thursday', 'Saturday'} >>> set1.remove('Friday')#Remove one element >>> set1 {'Monday', 'Sunday', 'Tuesday'} >>> set2.difference_update(['Friday','Sunday'])#Remove one or more element(s) >>> set2 {'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Saturday'} >>> set2.update(['Sunday','Friday']) >>> set2 {'Wednesday', 'Friday', 'Sunday', 'Thursday', 'Saturday'} >>> set2 -= {'Friday','Sunday'}#Remove one or more element(s) >>> set2 {'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Saturday'} >>> set1 {'Monday', 'Sunday', 'Tuesday'} >>> set1.remove('Friday')Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> KeyError: 'Friday' >>> set1.discard('Friday')#No error, if element is not present >>> set1 {'Monday', 'Sunday', 'Tuesday'} >>> set1.discard('Sunday') >>> set1 {'Monday', 'Tuesday'} >>> set1.pop() 'Monday' >>> set1 {'Tuesday'} >>> set2 {'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Saturday'} >>> set2.clear() >>> set2 set() >>> set1.clear() >>> set1 set()
union() and intersection() methods
>>> set1 = {'Sunday','Monday','Friday','Sunday'} >>> set2 = {'Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Friday','Saturday'} >>> set1 {'Monday', 'Friday', 'Sunday'} >>> set2 {'Wednesday', 'Friday', 'Thursday', 'Saturday'} >>> set1.union(set2) {'Wednesday', 'Monday', 'Friday', 'Sunday', 'Thursday', 'Saturday'} >>> set1 {'Monday', 'Friday', 'Sunday'} >>> set2 {'Wednesday', 'Friday', 'Thursday', 'Saturday'} >>> set1.intersection(set2) {'Friday'}
difference() and symmetric_difference() methods
>>> set1 = {'Sunday','Monday','Friday','Sunday'} >>> set2 = {'Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Friday','Saturday'} >>> set1.difference(set2) {'Monday', 'Sunday'} >>> set2.difference(set1) {'Thursday', 'Saturday', 'Wednesday'} >>> set1.symmetric_difference(set2) {'Sunday', 'Monday', 'Saturday', 'Thursday', 'Wednesday'} >>> set1 {'Monday', 'Sunday', 'Friday'} >>> set1.symmetric_difference_update(set2) >>> set1 {'Sunday', 'Monday', 'Saturday', 'Thursday', 'Wednesday'}
Built-in set() function and operations
>>> s={1, 1, 2, 2, 1, 4, 3, 3, 6, 6, 5, 6} >>> s {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} >>> s[1:3]Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: 'set' object is not subscriptable >>> s.update([7, 4, 0, 2]) >>> s {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} >>> s.remove(10)Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> KeyError: 10 >>> s.remove(1) >>> s {0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} >>> s=set("Hello, World!") >>> s {'l', 'o', ' ', 'd', ',', '!', 'e', 'W', 'H', 'r'}
