Another data type in Python is sets. It is a type that could store an unordered collection with no
duplicate elements

It is defined by using a pair of braces { }, and its elements are separated by commas

In [3]:
{3, 3, 2, 3, 1, 4, 5, 6, 4, 2}

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Out[3]:

# Find the unique elements in list [1, 2, 2, 3, 2, 1, 2]
set_1 = set([1, 2, 2, 3, 2, 1, 2])
set_1

{1, 2, 3}

In [6]:
#Find the unique elements in tuple (2, 4, 6, 5,2)
set_2 = set((2, 4, 6, 5, 2))

In [8]:
#Find the unique character in string “Banana”.
set('Banana')

{'B', 'a', 'n'}

In [9]:
#Get the union of set_1 and set_2.
