Set Type

A set is an unordered, mutable collection of unique elements represented by curly brackets. Sets can be created with various data types, but cannot contain mutable elements like lists or dictionaries. Key operations include adding, modifying, deleting elements, and using methods like intersection, union, and difference.

Set Type

A set is an unordered collection of elements much like a set in mathematics.


The order of elements is not maintained in the sets. It means the elements may not
appear in the same order as they are entered into the set.
A set does not accept duplicate elements.
Set is mutable so we can modify it.
Sets are unordered so we can not access its element using index.
Sets are represented using curly brackets { }
a = {10, 20, 30, “GeekyShows”, “Raj”, 40}
Creating a Set
A set is created by placing all the items (elements) inside curly braces {},
separated by comma. A set does not accept duplicate elements.
Elements can be of different types except mutable element, like list, set or
dictionary.
Ex:-
a = {10, 20, 30}
a = {10, 20, 30, “GeekyShows”, “Raj”, 40}
a = {10, 20, 30, “GeekyShows”, “Raj”, 40, 10, 20}
Creating Empty Set
We can create an empty set using set( ) function.
a = set()
Accessing elements
Sets are unordered so we can not access its element using index.
a = {10, 20, “GeekyShows”, “Raj”, 40}
a[0]
print(a)
Modifying Elements
Sets are mutable but as we can not access elements using index so we can not
modify it
Adding one Element
We can add a new element to set using add( ) method.
Syntax:-
set_name.add(new_element)
a.add(‘Python’)
Adding Multiple Elements
We can add multiple elements to set using update( ) method.
The update() method can take tuples, lists, strings or other sets as its argument.
Syntax:- set_name.update(elements)
Ex:-
a.update([101, 102, 103])
Deleting Element
We can delete element using remove ( ) or discard( ) methods.
Remove( ) method raise an error if element doesn’t exists while discard( )
method remains unchanged.
Syntax:- set_name.remove(element)
set_name.discard(element)
Ex:-
a.remove(‘GeekyShows’)
a.discard(‘GeekyShows’)
Copying Elements
Copy ( ) Method is used to copy existing set’s elements into another set.
Syntax:- new_set_name = set_name.copy()
Ex:- new_a = a.copy()
Clearing All Elements
Clear ( ) Method is used remove all elements to the set
Syntax:- set_name.clear()
Ex:- a.clear()
Some other Methods of set
• intersection ( )
• union ( )
• difference ( )
• issubset ( )
• issuperset ( )
