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)

Change Items

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