Python programming

The document provides an overview of Python sets, highlighting their characteristics as unordered collections of unique and immutable items, while the set itself is mutable. It explains how to create sets, add and remove elements, and perform mathematical set operations like union and intersection. Additionally, it covers set membership testing and the distinction between methods that mutate the set versus those that do not.

PYTHON SETS
* A set is an unordered collection of items. Every element
is unique and must be immutable.

* However, the set itself is mutable. We can add or


remove items from it.

* Sets can be used to perform mathematical set


operations like union, intersection, symmetric difference
etc.
CREATING A SET
• A set is created by placing all the elements inside curly braces {},
separated by comma or by using the built-in function set(). The elements can be of
different types (integer, float, tuple, string etc.).
• But a set cannot have a mutable element, like list, set or dictionary. as its
element.
A set can contain elements of different
type
we can convert a list
to set using set
function

A set cannot contain


lists.
LIS TUPLE
T
• appen • add
d • update
• extend • ........
• insert • remove
• pop • discard
• remov
e
ADDING ELEMENTS TO SET

• Sets are mutable. But since they are unordered, indexing have no meaning.
• We cannot access or change an element of set using indexing or slicing.
• We can add single element using the add() method and multiple elements using
the update() method.
• The update() method can take tuples, lists, strings or other sets as its argument. In
all cases, duplicates are avoided.
REMOVE ELEMENTS FROM A
SET
• A particular item can be removed from set using methods, discard() and
removed().
• using discard() if the item does not exist in the set , it remains unchanged
• but remove () will raise an error in such conditions.
SET MEMBERSHIP
TEST
• we can test , if an item exists in a set or not , using the in
operator
• given an list of elements, remove the
dupliicate element.
Read a string and find the
numbers of unique characters
in it
PYTHON SET
OPERATIONS
• sets can be used to carry out mathematical set operations like union,
intersection, difference and symmetrical difference
• We can do this with operators and methods.
SET MUTATION
OPERATIONS
• we have seen the applications of union , intersection, difference and
symmetric difference operations but these operations do not make
any changes or mutations to the set.
• we can use the following operations to create mutations to
a set.
