Scenario based questions from Python Sets

_______________________________________________________

Grocery Shopping:

1. You're at the grocery store and need to buy items for a recipe. Let A be the set of fruits
available, and B be the set of vegetables. If you need to buy items from both categories,
how would you represent the items you'll purchase using set notation? What's the
intersection of sets A and B?

Program

# Grocery Shopping
fruits = {'apple', 'banana', 'orange', 'kiwi', 'mango'}
vegetables = {'carrot', 'broccoli', 'spinach', 'lettuce', 'tomato'}

# Items to buy from both categories (intersection)

items_to_buy = fruits.intersection(vegetables)
print("Items to buy from both categories:", items_to_buy)

# Class Enrollment
math_students = {'Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie', 'David', 'Eve'}
science_students = {'Alice', 'Frank', 'Grace', 'David', 'Hannah'}

# Students interested in either Math or Science or both (union)

interested_in_either = math_students.union(science_students)
print("Students interested in either Math or Science or both:", interested_in_either)

# Social Media Followers

instagram_followers = {'user1', 'user2', 'user3', 'user4', 'user5'}
twitter_followers = {'user3', 'user4', 'user6', 'user7', 'user8'}

# Followers on both platforms (intersection)

followers_on_both = instagram_followers.intersection(twitter_followers)
print("Followers on both platforms:", followers_on_both)

# Book Club Selections

fiction_books = {'Book1', 'Book2', 'Book3', 'Book4', 'Book5'}
non_fiction_books = {'Book4', 'Book5', 'Book6', 'Book7', 'Book8'}
 # Combined set of nominated books (union)
nominated_books = fiction_books.union(non_fiction_books)
print("Combined set of nominated books:", nominated_books)

# Players Selection
offense_players = {'Player1', 'Player2', 'Player3', 'Player4', 'Player5'}
defense_players = {'Player3', 'Player4', 'Player6', 'Player7', 'Player8'}

# Players proficient in offense but not in defense (relative complement)

offense_not_defense = offense_players.difference(defense_players)
print("Players proficient in offense but not in defense:", offense_not_defense)

Class Enrollment:

2. Suppose you're a school administrator and you need to organize class enrollments. Let A
be the set of students interested in Math, and B be the set of students interested in
Science. How would you represent the students who are interested in either Math or
Science or both using set notation? What's the union of sets A and B?

Program

# Define sets of students interested in Math and Science

math_students = {'Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie', 'David', 'Eve'}
science_students = {'Alice', 'Frank', 'Grace', 'David', 'Hannah'}

# Students interested in either Math or Science or both (union)

interested_in_either = math_students.union(science_students)

print("Students interested in either Math or Science or both:", interested_in_either)

Explanation

In this program:
● math_students represents the set of students interested in Math.
● science_students represents the set of students interested in Science.
● interested_in_either calculates the union of sets A and B, which represents the students
interested in either Math or Science or both.
The output will display the set of students interested in either Math or Science or both.

Social Media Followers:

3. You're a social media influencer managing two platforms: Instagram and Twitter. Let A
be the set of your Instagram followers, and B be the set of your Twitter followers. If you
want to find out who follows you on both platforms, what operation would you perform
on sets A and B?

Program

# Define sets of Instagram and Twitter followers

instagram_followers = {'user1', 'user2', 'user3', 'user4', 'user5'}
twitter_followers = {'user3', 'user4', 'user6', 'user7', 'user8'}

# Followers on both platforms (intersection)

followers_on_both = instagram_followers.intersection(twitter_followers)

print("Followers on both platforms:", followers_on_both)

Explanation:_

To find out who follows you on both Instagram and Twitter, you would perform the

intersection operation on sets A (Instagram followers) and B (Twitter followers). python

Program
# Define sets of Instagram and Twitter followers
instagram_followers = {'user1', 'user2', 'user3', 'user4', 'user5'}
twitter_followers = {'user3', 'user4', 'user6', 'user7', 'user8'}

# Followers on both platforms (intersection)

followers_on_both = instagram_followers.intersection(twitter_followers)

print("Followers on both platforms:", followers_on_both)

 In this program:

● instagram_followers represents the set of your Instagram followers.

● twitter_followers represents the set of your Twitter followers.
● followers_on_both calculates the intersection of sets A and B, which represents the
followers who follow you on both platforms.

The output will display the set of followers who follow you on both Instagram and Twitter.

Book Club Selections:

4. You're a member of a book club, and the club is selecting books to read for the next
month. Let A be the set of fiction books nominated, and B be the set of non-fiction books
nominated. If you want to ensure variety in the selection, how would you represent the
combined set of nominated books using set notation? What's the complement of set A?

Program

# Define sets of nominated fiction and non-fiction books

fiction_books = {'Book1', 'Book2', 'Book3', 'Book4', 'Book5'}
non_fiction_books = {'Book4', 'Book5', 'Book6', 'Book7', 'Book8'}

# Combined set of nominated books (union)

nominated_books = fiction_books.union(non_fiction_books)
print("Combined set of nominated books:", nominated_books)

# Complement of set A (fiction books)

all_books = {'Book1', 'Book2', 'Book3', 'Book4', 'Book5', 'Book6', 'Book7', 'Book8',
'Book9', 'Book10'}
fiction_books_complement = all_books.difference(fiction_books)
print("Complement of set A (fiction books):", fiction_books_complement)

Explanation:-
To represent the combined set of nominated books using set notation, you would perform the
union operation on sets A (fiction books nominated) and B (non-fiction books nominated).
Additionally, to find the complement of set A, you would subtract set A from the set of all
zbooks available.

In this program:
 ● fiction_books represents the set of nominated fiction books.
● non_fiction_books represents the set of nominated non-fiction books.
● nominated_books calculates the union of sets A and B, representing the combined set
of nominated books.
● all_books represents the set of all available books.
● fiction_books_complement calculates the complement of set A, which is the set of all
available books except the nominated fiction books.

The output will display the combined set of nominated books and the complement of set A (fiction
books).

Team Selection:

5. You're a coach selecting players for a sports team. Let A be the set of players proficient in
offense, and B be the set of players proficient in defense. How would you represent the set
of players who are proficient in offense but not in defense using set notation? What's the
relative complement of set B with respect to set A?

Program
# Define sets of players proficient in offense and defense
offense_players = {'Player1', 'Player2', 'Player3', 'Player4', 'Player5'}
defense_players = {'Player3', 'Player4', 'Player6', 'Player7', 'Player8'}

# Players proficient in offense but not in defense (relative complement)

offense_not_defense = offense_players.difference(defense_players)
print("Players proficient in offense but not in defense:", offense_not_defense)

# Relative complement of set B with respect to set A

defense_not_offense = defense_players.difference(offense_players)
print("Players proficient in defense but not in offense:", defense_not_offense)

Explanation
To represent the set of players who are proficient in offense but not in defense using set
notation, you would perform the relative complement operation on set A (players
proficient in offense) with respect to set B (players proficient in defense). Similarly, to
find the relative complement of set B with respect to set A, you would perform the relative
complement operation on set B with respect to set A.
 In this program:

● offense_players represents the set of players proficient in offense.

● defense_players represents the set of players proficient in defense.
● offense_not_defense calculates the relative complement of set A with respect to set B,
representing the players proficient in offense but not in defense.
● defense_not_offense calculates the relative complement of set B with respect to set A,
representing the players proficient in defense but not in offense.

The output will display the set of players proficient in offense but not in defense, and the set of players
proficient in defense but not in offense.
