Python Sets [ 20 exercises with solution]

[An editor is available at the bottom of the page to write and execute the scripts.]

A set is an unordered collection with no duplicate elements. Basic uses include membership testing and eliminating duplicate entries. Set objects also support mathematical operations like union, intersection, difference, and symmetric difference.
Curly braces or the set() function can be used to create sets.

11. Write a Python program to create a shallow copy of sets. Go to the editor

Note : Shallow copy is a bit-wise copy of an object. A new object is created that has an exact copy of the values in the original object.

Python: Tips of the Day

Combining Lists Using Zip:

  • Takes multiple collections and returns a new collection.
  • The new collection contains items where each item contains one element from each input collection.
  • It allows us to transverse multiple collections at the same time. 
name = 'abcdef'
suffix = [1,2,3,4,5,6]
zip(name, suffix)
--> returns (a,1),(b,2),(c,3),(d,4),(e,5),(f,6)
