Lecture 53: Sets - Part 1

Sets

Stores unordered collection of unique items

Unordered means, there is no indexing in sets as well (like dictionaries)
1 item can be stored only once. No repetition. Hence ever item is unique
Syntax: {} -> just input the item. No key value pairs

# {key: value} - Dictionary /

# unique items

We CANNOT add list, sets, dictionary inside a set.

We CAN add tuple inside a set
