Python Sets
Creating Sets
1. Using curly braces {}:
This is the most straightforward method for creating a set with specific elements you define. You simply enclose the elements separated by commas within curly braces. Here's an example:
fruits = {"apple", "banana", "orange", "banana"} # Note: duplicate "banana" will be ignored
print(fruits) # Output: {'apple', 'orange', 'banana'} (order may vary)2. Converting from other data types (lists, tuples):
You can create a set from existing data structures like lists or tuples. However, keep in mind that duplicates will be removed during the conversion because sets only allow unique elements. Here's how it works:
Create a set from the list:
my_list = [1, 2, 2, 3, 4]
numbers_set = set(my_list)
print(numbers_set) # Output: {1, 2, 3, 4}Create a set from the tuple:
my_tuple = ("apple", "mango", "apple")
unique_fruits = set(my_tuple)
print(unique_fruits) # Output: {'apple', 'mango'}3. The set() function:
The built-in set() function provides another way to create a set. You can pass an iterable object (like a list, tuple, or string) as an argument to the set() function. Similar to converting from other data types, duplicates will be eliminated during creation. Here's an example:
colors_string = "red,green,blue,red"
color_set = set(colors_string.split(",")) # Split the string by comma and create a set
print(color_set) # Output: {'red', 'green', 'blue'}These three methods offer flexibility in creating sets based on your needs. Choose the approach that best suits the data you're working with!
