Python offers a datatype called set whose elements must be unique. It can be used to perform different set operations like union, intersection, difference and symmetric difference.
Source Code:
# Program to perform different set operations like in mathematics # define three sets E = {0, 2, 4, 6, 8}; N = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; # set union print("Union of E and N is",E | N) # set intersection print("Intersection of E and N is",E & N) # set difference print("Difference of E and N is",E - N) # set symmetric difference print("Symmetric difference of E and N is",E ^ N)
Output:
Union of E and N is {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8} Intersection of E and N is {2, 4} Difference of E and N is {8, 0, 6} Symmetric difference of E and N is {0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 8}
In this program, we take two different sets and perform different set operations on them. This can equivalently done by using set methods.
