Add Set Items


Add Items

Note: Once a set is created, you cannot change its items, but you can add new items.

To add one item to a set use the add() method.

Example

  thisset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}

  thisset.add("orange")

print(thisset)

Add Sets

To add items from another set into the current set, use the update() method.

Example

  thisset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}
tropical = {"pineapple", "mango", "papaya"}

  thisset.update(tropical)

print(thisset)

Add Any Iterable

The object in the update() method does not have to be a set, it can be any iterable object (tuples, lists, dictionaries etc.).

Example

  thisset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}
  mylist = ["kiwi", "orange"]

  thisset.update(mylist)

print(thisset)
