    Sets and Dictionaries in Python L5

    Sets are unordered collections of unique elements that cannot be accessed by index. Sets use curly braces and commas to separate elements. Common set operations include adding and removing elements. Dictionaries are collections of key-value pairs that are mutable and unordered. Keys must be unique and immutable, while values can be any object. Common dictionary operations include membership testing, accessing keys/values, and iterating over key-value pairs.

    SETS AND

    DICTIONARIES
    IN PYTHON

    SETS
    • Sets are unordered collections of unique elements. A set is not a sequence type in
    Python.
    • Elements cannot be accessed by index;
    • A set is a mutable object and that means it can be modified.
    • A set uses curly braces and commas to separate its elements.
    • s1 = {1, 4.5, 'abc'}
    • You cannot access items in a set by index because there is no order.
    • s1[0]
    • Traceback (most recent call last):
    • File "<pyshell#33>", line 1, in <module>
    • s1[0]
    • TypeError: 'set' object does not support indexing
    • You cannot access items in a set by index because there is no order.
    • There is no concept of the first element of the set. The second element, the third element and
    so on.
    • In real world, there are many collections that are unordered without duplicates.
    • Social Security numbers, email addresses, IP addresses and so on.
    • All of these are collections of unique and unordered elements.
    • Duplicates are not allowed if we want to have such collections in our applications.
    How to check whether a certain element is in the Set?
    SET METHODS

    • add() -> Adds an element to the set


    SET METHODS

    • clear() -> Removes all the elements from the set


    SET METHODS

    • copy() -> Returns a copy of the set


    !! the assignment operator (=) creates a reference to the same set object
    SET METHODS
    • discard() and remove() - remove the specified element from the set
    DICTIONARY

    ● In Python a dictionary is an unordered collection of key: value pairs, separated by commas


    and enclosed by curly braces;
    ● A dictionary is mutable object meaning that we can add or remove elements from the
    dictionary.
    ● The basic structure of a dictionary: key and value pairs
    ● Values can be any Python object, but keys need to be hashable or immutable objects and
    unique.

    DICTIONARY OPERATIONS AND
    METHODS
    ● Membership operation: in and not in
    person = {'name': 'John', 'age': 30, 'grades':[7, 9, 10]}
    'name' in person
    True
    ● Dictionary Views:
    ○ dict.keys() -> returns keys only
    ○ dict.values() -> returns values only
    ○ dict.items() -> returns (key, value) pairs
    ● Iteration
    for k in person.keys():
    print(f'key is {k}')
    for k, v in person.items():
    print(f'key:{k} , value:{v}')
    key:name , value:John key:age , value:30
    key:grades , value:[7, 9, 10]
    .keys()
    .values()
    .keys()
