Python set() Built in Function

A set in Python is an unordered collection of unique items that supports various operations such as membership testing, union, intersection, difference and symmetric difference. The syntax for creating a set is:

set(iterable)

where iterable is any object that can be iterated over, such as a list, a tuple or a string. Alternatively, you can use curly braces {} to create a set with literal values.

Here are some examples of creating sets with different iterables:


# Create a set from a list
my_set = set([1, 2, 3])
print(my_set)
# Output: {1, 2, 3}

# Create a set from a tuple
my_set = set((4, 5, 6))
print(my_set)
# Output: {4, 5, 6}

# Create a set from a string
my_set = set("hello")
print(my_set)
# Output: {'h', 'e', 'l', 'o'}

# Create a set with literal values
my_set = {7, 8 ,9}
print(my_set)
# Output: {7 ,8 ,9}
