Python Sets Operations: Mastering Union, Intersection, and More 🐍

Sets in Python are unordered collections of unique elements. Here’s a concise guide to common set operations:

🔢 Basic Operations

• Union (|): Combines elements from two sets.

  Example: `set1 | set2`

• Intersection (&): Finds common elements between sets.

  Example: `set1 & set2`

• Difference (-): Removes elements present in another set.

  Example: `set1 - set2`

• Symmetric Difference (^): Elements in either set but not both.

  Example: `set1 ^ set2`

📚 Practical Tips

• Use in to check membership: if x in my_set:
• Iterate with for loops:

  for item in my_set:  
      print(item)  
  

• Clear a set with .clear() or reassign it.
