Sets are lists with no duplicate entries. Let's say you want to collect a list of words used in a paragraph:
Sets are a powerful tool in Python since they have the ability to calculate differences and intersections between other sets. For example, say you have a list of participants in events A and B:
a = set(["Jake", "John", "Eric"])
print(a)
b = set(["John", "Jill"])
print(b)
To find out which members attended both events, you may use the "intersection" method:
a = set(["Jake", "John", "Eric"])
b = set(["John", "Jill"])
print(a.intersection(b))
print(b.intersection(a))
------
To find out which members attended only one of the events, use the "symmetric_difference" method:
a = set(["Jake", "John", "Eric"])
b = set(["John", "Jill"])
print(a.symmetric_difference(b))
print(b.symmetric_difference(a))
-----------
To find out which members attended only one event and not the other, use the "difference" method:
a = set(["Jake", "John", "Eric"])
b = set(["John", "Jill"])
print(a.difference(b))
print(b.difference(a))
--------------To receive a list of all participants, use the "union" method:
a = set(["Jake", "John", "Eric"])
b = set(["John", "Jill"])
print(a.union(b))
------------
In the exercise below, use the given lists to print out a set containing all the participants from event A which did not attend event B.
a = ["Jake", "John", "Eric"]
b = ["John", "Jill"]
A = set(a)
B = set(b)
print(A.difference(B))
print(set("my name is Eric and Eric is my name".split()))
