Sets In Python

In this article, we will discuss sets in Python.

Purpose

The set contains a unique set of elements.

mySet = {1,2,3,4,5,2}

print(mySet)

In the above example, we have a collection with repeating elements. When you print it, we can only see a unique set of elements.

Consider the following example: -

mySet = {1,2,3,4,5}

mySet.add(1)

print(mySet)

Here, we have a set with unique elements. Even if we add duplicate elements in the set, it will not give any error but display unique elements.

We can use the set function to convert a list to a set. Consider the following example: -

mySet = {1,2,3,4,5}

myList = [1,2,1]

print(set(myList))
