set() function in Python is used to create a set, which is an unordered collection of unique elements. It removes duplicate values automatically and accepts an iterable such as a list, tuple, string, range or dictionary.
Example: In this example, set() is used to create a set from a list containing duplicate values.
{1, 2, 3}
Explanation: set(a) converts the list a into a set and duplicate value 2 is removed automatically.
set(iterable)
Example 1: In this example, an empty set is created using set(). This is useful when elements need to be added later.
set() <class 'set'>
Explanation: set() creates an empty set and type(s) confirms the object is a set.
Example 2: In this example, a list with duplicate values is converted into a set. This removes all repeated elements.
{4, 5, 6, 7}
Explanation: set(a) removes duplicate value 5 and only unique elements remain.
Example 3: In this example, a tuple is converted into a set. Duplicate values are removed automatically.
{1, 2, 3}
Explanation: set(t) converts tuple t into a set, duplicate value 1 is removed.
Example 4: In this example, range() is used with set() to create a set of numbers.
{3, 4, 5, 6, 7}
Explanation: set(range(3, 8)) creates a set from numbers generated by range().
Example 5: In this example, a dictionary is passed to set(). Only dictionary keys are included in the set.
{'x', 'z', 'y'}
Explanation: set(d) takes only the keys from dictionary d, values are not included.
