    Sets are mutable sequences that do not allow duplicate elements. They can be created using curly braces or the set() function. Common set methods include add() to add an element, update() to add multiple elements from another sequence, discard() to remove an element if present, and remove() to remove and raise error if absent. Other methods calculate intersections, unions, check subsets and supersets between sets. Sets can be used to count distinct elements in a list.

     Set is a type of sequence of elements that do
    not allow duplicate values.
     Syntax: set_name={s1,s2,....,sn}
     Indexing is not possible in Set. Thus
    subscript operator does not work on set.
     Slicing operator also does not work on set.
     Set is Mutable
     S={10,20,30}
     S={} #is not a set but a dictionary
     S=set() #creating empty set
     Creating set from other sequence
    L=[1,2,3]
    S=set(L)
    Or
    S=set(“Rahul”)
     add() : This method is used to add elements
    on a set.
    ◦ Add method randomly adds element in an index
    ◦ Adding duplicate value will make no changes in the
    existing set.
     update: This method returns the union of the
    set and a sequence that was passed as
    argument.
    ◦ Update method can take more than one sequence
    of different type as an argument.
     discard(): Removes the item passed as
    argument
    ◦ If item not found in the set, it does not give error
    message
     remove(): This function also removes the item
    passed as argument.
    ◦ If item not found in the set, it does gives error
    message
     intersection(): This method is used to find
    Intersection between two set.
     union(): This method is used to find union
    between two set. Works same as update
    function.
     clear(): To remove all element from the set
     issubset()
     issuperset()
     pop()
     copy()
     Write a Python script to count the distinct
    elements of a List using a set.
