مجموعهها (Sets)
Set
Sets are used to store multiple items in a single variable.[۱]
Set is one of 4 built-in data types in Python used to store collections of data, the other 3 are List, Tuple, and Dictionary, all with different qualities and usage.
A set is a collection which is both unordered and unindexed.
Sets are written with curly brackets.
Set Items
Set items are unordered, unchangeable, and do not allow duplicate values.
Unordered
Unordered means that the items in a set do not have a defined order.
Set items can appear in a different order every time you use them, and cannot be referred to by index or key.
Unchangeable
Sets are unchangeable, meaning that we cannot change the items after the set has been created.
Duplicates Not Allowed
Sets cannot have two items with the same value.
Get the Length of a Set
To determine how many items a set has, use the len()
method.
Set Items - Data Types
Set items can be of any data type:
A set can contain different data types:
type()
From Python's perspective, sets are defined as objects with the data type 'set':
The set() Constructor
It is also possible to use the set() constructor to make a set.
Python Collections (Arrays)
There are four collection data types in the Python programming language:
- List is a collection which is ordered and changeable. Allows duplicate members.
- Tuple is a collection which is ordered and unchangeable. Allows duplicate members.
- Set is a collection which is unordered and unindexed. No duplicate members.
- Dictionary is a collection which is unordered and changeable. No duplicate members.
When choosing a collection type, it is useful to understand the properties of that type. Choosing the right type for a particular data set could mean retention of meaning, and, it could mean an increase in efficiency or security.
