Python Notes - Sets and Dictionaries

Sets in Python
- A set is an unordered collection of unique items.
- Sets are defined using curly braces {} or using set().
- Example: my_set = {1, 2, 3}
- Duplicate elements are not allowed.
- No indexing in sets, use loops to access elements.

Common Set Methods:


- add(item): Adds a single element.
- update(iterable): Adds multiple elements.
- remove(item): Removes a specified element (error if not found).
- discard(item): Removes specified element (no error if not found).
- pop(): Removes a random element.
- clear(): Empties the entire set.

Example Code:
fruits = {'apple', 'banana', 'cherry'}
fruits.add('orange')
fruits.remove('banana')
for fruit in fruits:
print(fruit)

Dictionaries in Python
- A dictionary is a collection of key-value pairs.
- Defined using curly braces {} with key: value.
- Example: student = {'name': 'John', 'age': 18}
- Keys must be unique; values can be duplicated.

Common Dictionary Methods:


- keys(): Returns all keys.
- values(): Returns all values.
- items(): Returns key-value pairs.
- get(key): Returns value for a key.
- update(): Updates dictionary with another dictionary.

Example Code:
student = {'name': 'John', 'age': 18, 'grade': 'A'}
print(student['name'])
student['gender'] = 'Male'
student['grade'] = 'A+'
for key, value in student.items():
print(key, ':', value)
