Set Programming Example:
Example-1: Write a program to remove the given number from the set?
my_set = {1,2,3,4,5,6,12,24}
n = int(input("Enter the number you want to remove"))
my_set.discard(n)
print("After Removing:",my_set)
Output: Enter the number you want to remove:12
After Removing: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 24}
Example-2: Write a program to add multiple elements to the set?
set1 = set([1,2,4,"John","CS"])
[Link](["Apple","Mango","Grapes"])
print(set1)
Output: {1, 2, 4, 'Apple', 'John', 'CS', 'Mango', 'Grapes'}
Example-3: Write a program to find the union between two set?
>>> set1 = set(["Peter","Joseph", 65,59,96])
>>> set2 = set(["Peter",1,2,"Joseph"])
>>> set3 = [Link](set2)
>>> print(set3)
Output: {96, 65, 2, 'Joseph', 1, 'Peter', 59}
Example-4: Write a program to find the intersection between two sets?
>>> set1 = {23,44,56,67,90,45,"Javatpoint"}
>>> set2 = {13,23,56,76,"Sachin"}
>>> set3 = [Link](set2)
>>> print(set3)
Output: {56, 23}
Example-5: Write the program to add element to the frozenset?
>>> frozenset_object = frozenset([10,20,30])
>>> frozenset_object.add(40)
AttributeError: 'frozenset' object has no attribute 'add'
Note: Above code raised an error because frozensets are immutable and can't be changed
after creation.
Example - 6: Write the program to find the issuperset, issubset and superset?
>>> set1 = set(["Peter","James","Camroon","Ricky","Donald"])
>>> set2 = set(["Camroon","Washington","Peter"])
>>> set3 = set(["Peter"])
>>> issubset = set1 >= set2
>>> print(issubset) # False
>>> issuperset = set1 <= set2
>>> print(issuperset) # False
>>> issubset = set3 <= set2
>>> print(issubset) # True
>>> issuperset = set2 >= set3
>>> print(issuperset) # True
1. Does converting an object to a set maintain the object’s order?
No. A set is not an ordered data structure, so order is not maintained.
Look what happens when we convert the list [3,2,1] to a set. It becomes {1,2,3}.
a = set([3,2,1])
a
Output: {1, 2, 3}
2. Check if a set a subset of another set
This can be done with the issubset() method.
>>> a = {4,5}
>>> b = {1,2,3,4,5}
>>> [Link](b)
True
>>> [Link](a)
False
3. Check if a set is a subset, using comparison operators
A set, s1, is a subset of s2 if all elements of s1 are in s2.
The operators <= will return True if all elements of the 1st set exist in the 2nd set (aka. is a
subset).
>>> a = {'a','b'}
>>> b = {'a','b','c'}
>>> a <= b
True
>>> b <= a
False
4. Is a set a subset of itself?
Yes. Because a set contains all elements in itself, it is indeed a subset of itself. This is important
to understand when we contrast “subset” with “proper subset” later.
>>> a = {10,20}[Link](a)
True
5. Check if a specific value exists in a set
Like other types of iterables, we can check if a value exists in a set with the in operator.
>>> s = {5,7,9}5 in s
True
>>> 6 in s
False
6. Write a Python program to create an empty set.
>>> my_set = set()
7. Write a Python program to create a set with elements "apple", "banana", and "cherry".
>>> fruits = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}
8. Write a Python program to find the length of a set.
>>> my_set = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
>>> len(my_set)
5
9. Write a Python program to add an element to a set.
>>> my_set = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
>>> my_set.add(6)
>>> my_set
{1,2,3,6,4,5}
10. Write a Python program to remove an element from a set.
>>> my_set = {1, 2, 3, 6,4, 5}
>>> my_set.remove(3)
>>> my_set
{1,2,6,4,5}
11. Write a Python program to check if an element is present in a set.
>>> my_set = {1,2,6,4,5}
>>> if 4 in my_set:
print("Element found")
>>> else:
print("Element not found")
Output: Element found
12. Write a Python program to perform set union.
>>> set1 = {1, 2, 3}
