How do I add two sets?
a = {'a', 'b', 'c'}
b = {'d', 'e', 'f'}
I want to add above two set values. I need output like
c = {'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f'}
All you have to do to combine them is
c = a | b
Sets are unordered sequences of unique values. a | b
or a.union(b)
is the union of the two sets (a new set with all values found in either set). This is a class of operation called a "set operation", which Python set
s provide convenient tools for.
You can use .update()
to combine set b
into set a
. Try this:
a = {'a', 'b', 'c'}
b = {'d', 'e', 'f'}
a.update(b)
print(a)
To create a new set, c
you first need to .copy()
the first set:
c = a.copy()
c.update(b)
print(c)
You can use the result of union() of a and b in c. Note: sorted() is used to print sorted output
a = {'a','b','c'}
b = {'d','e','f'}
c=a.union(b)
print(sorted(c)) #this will print a sorted list
Or simply print unsorted union of a and
print(c) #this will print set c
