Python - Access Set Items

Access Items

You cannot access items in a set by referring to an index or a key. But you can loop through the set items using a for loop, or ask if a specified value is present in a set, by using the in keyword.

Example

Loop through the set, and print the values:

thisset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}

for x in thisset:

print(x)

Example

Check if "banana" is present in the set:

thisset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}
print("banana"
in thisset)

Example

Check if "banana" is NOT present in the set:

thisset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}
print("banana"
not in thisset)

Change Items

Once a set is created, you cannot change its items, but you can add new items.
