44.Example Programs using set

Write a program to do basic set operations

na=int(input('Enter number of elements of the set A ..'))

A=set()

print("Enter the elements of set A...")

for i in range(na):

    x=int(input())

    A.add(x)

nb=int(input('Enter number of elements of the set B ..'))

B=set()

print("Enter the elements of set B...")

for i in range(nb):

    x=int(input())

    B.add(x)

print("set operations..")

print("union")

print(A|B)

print("Intersection")

print(A&B)

print("Difference A-B and B-A")

print(A-B)

print(B-A)

print("symmetric Difference")

print(A^B)

The simple way to remove duplicate elements from a list is to convert into a set and then convert back to list

lst=[]

n=int(input("enter how many numbers.."))

print("Enter elements...")

for i in range(n):

    x=int(input())

    lst.append(x)

nlst=list(set(lst))

print("new list after removing duplicates")

print(nlst)

This program will completely remove duplicate elements without keeping any copy.

n=int(input('Enter number of elements of the list ..'))

lst=[]

print("Enter the elements...")

for i in range(n):

    x=int(input())

    lst.append(x)

nlst=list(set(lst)) # new list with only one copy

nlwd=[] # new list without duplicates

for i in nlst:

    if lst.count(i)==1: #non duplicate element

        nlwd.append(i)

print("New list after removing duplicates completely...")

print(nlwd)
