Overview
Sets and the __hash__() Function
Initialization
Literal initialization:
s = {1, 2, 3}
Set from a tuple:
s = set((1, 2, 3))
Set from a list:
s = set([1, 2, 3])
Set from a string:
s = set('ABC')
print(s) # {'C', 'B', 'A'}
Shallow Copy
s = set()
s.add('a')
s2 = s.copy()
Add Elements
Add One Element
s = set()
s.add('a')
assert 'a' in s
Add Multiple Elements
Update the set with the union of itself and others, where others can be any iterable. update()
eliminates duplicates.
s = set()
s.update(['a', 'b', 'a'])
assert len(s) == 2
assert 'a' in s
assert 'b' in s
Add Multiple Elements with union()
union() merges the elements of the iterable given as argument into the current set, and returns a new set, which is the union of the current set and the argument.
Remove an Element from a Set
s.remove('a')
Does not return anything, simply removes the element.
If the element does not exist, throws KeyError: 'a'
.
Convert to List
s=set()
l=list(s)
frozenset()
The fronzenset()
returns an immutable frozenset object initialized with the elements from a given iterable. frozenset objects can be used as dictionary keys.
If the iterable contains duplicate elements, they are ignored (the iterable is handled like a set):
f = frozenset(['a', 'b', 'c'])
f2 = frozenset(['a', 'b', 'c', 'a'])
assert f == f2
