Different operations can be performed on a set. Important operations include:

• Accessing a set item:

You can access all items in the set by looping over it, as shown.

for x in set:
    print(x)

You can check if a specific value is present in the set as well.

print(x in set)

• Adding a set item:

You can add a set item by using the add() method as shown.

set.add(x)

You may also want to add all items from a different iterable (does not need to be a set) to your set. In this case, you may use the update method.

setA = {"apple", "orange", "banana"}
setB = {"kiwi", "mango", "pineapple"}
setB.update(setA)

• Removing a set item:

You can remove a set item by using the remove() method as shown.

set.remove(x)

• Joining two sets:

You can create a set that contains all the items from two sets by using the union operation. This is similar to adding all items from a different iterable, but different because rather than adding all elements from setA to setB, you are creating a new set (setC) that contains all elements of setA and setB.

setA = {"apple", "orange", "banana"}
setB = {"kiwi", "mango", "pineapple"}
setC = setB.union(setA)

Other methods that may be used include:

• clear()
• copy()
• difference()
• discard()
• intersection()
• isdisjoint()
• issubset()
• issuperset()
• pop()
• symmetric_difference()
