set(iterable)

Example List to set Python

Simple example code using a list of numbers to convert into a set.

my_list = [8, 7, 6, 7, 8, 8, 7, 6, 7, 8, 9]

my_set = set(my_list)

print(my_set)

Output: See output set starts with open curly braces and closes with curly braces.

Another example using the list to strings

my_list = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'B']

my_set = set(my_list)

print(my_set)

Output: {‘A’, ‘C’, ‘B’}
