There are two types of set:variable set and immutable set:variable set can not be hashed.Note:frozenset can not be changed!
1.create and update
> myset=set("abadsfljasd")> mysetset(['a', 'b', 'd', 'f', 'j', 'l', 's'])
Note:we can not create a set by operator(can not treated as list ant tuple or diretoty).we can only use set() anf frozenzet().
1.1visit the value in a set:
'a' in myset
1.2update a set
myset.add('z')myset.update("python")myset.remove("abcd")s-=set("python")
1.3delete a set del myset
2.the oprator of set
2.1 standard operator in,no in,==,!= , > , >=, <, <=
2.2 'set' type operator
combine: "|"> twoset=se("xyz")> oneset | twosetset(['a', 'c', 'b', 'd', 'y', 'x', 'z'])
&, -, ^
>oneset ^ threeset>set(['c', 'd', '1', '3', '2'])
mixed-type operate:set and frozen set> myset=set("abcd")> myfrozenset=frozenset("1234")> myset | myfrozensetset(['a', 'c', 'b', 'd', '1', '3', '2', '4'])> myfrozenset | mysetfrozenset(['a', 'c', 'b', 'd', '1', '3', '2', '4'])
Note:the result type follow the former.
2.3set-type operator---only used for set not for frozenset Update:|=, &=, -=, ^=
3.build_in function len(), set(), frozenset()
3.1 set-type build_in function Note:build_in function means standart build_in function that could used for set . set-type build_in function means this function is part of set-type.
function name return value
s.add('a') update s
s.clear() clear s
s.difference(t) a new set(element in s but not in t)
s.union(t) a new set
s.intersection(t) a new set
s.issubset(t) True or False
3.2compare: operator and build_in function: For the most, build_in function and operarot is equal. However, the operand for the operator must be set-type, while the object for the build_in function could be iterative type.
