Python

The document outlines various built-in methods for Python sets, including their functions and usage. Key methods include 'add', 'clear', 'copy', 'difference_update', and 'union', among others, each serving specific purposes for set manipulation. These methods allow for adding, removing, and comparing elements within sets.

Python Built in set methods

Python contains the following methods to be used with the sets.

SN METHOD Description
1. Add (item) It adds an item to the set . It has no effect if the
item is already present in the set.

2. Clear() It deletes all the items from the set.


3. Copy() It returns a shallow copy of the set.
4. Difference_update (…) It modifies this set by removing all the items that
are also present in the specified sets.
5. Discard(item) It removes the specified item from the set.
6. Intersection() It returns a new set that contains only the
common elements of both the sets. (all the set if
more than two are specified).
7. Intersection_update(…) It removes the items from the original set that
are not present in both the sets. (all the sets if
more than two are specified.
8. Isdisjoint(…) Return True if two sets have a null intersection.
9. Issubset(…) Report whether another set contains this set.
10. Issuperset(…) Report whether this set contains another set.
11. Pop() Remove and return an arbitrary set element that
is the last element of the set. Raises KeyError if
the set is empty.
12. remove(item) Remove an element from a set; it must be a
member. If the element is not a member, raise a
KeyError.
13. symmetric _difference(…) Remove an element from a set; it must be a
member. If the element is not a member, raise a
KeyError.
14. symmetric _difference_update(…) Update a set with the symmetric difference of
itsself and another.
15. Union(…) Return the union of sets as a new set (i.e. all
element that are in either set.)
16. Update() Update a set with the union of itself and others.
