Accessing Set Items in Python: Retrieving Elements from Sets

thumb_up 1  ·  sell Python set item access, Accessing elements in Python sets, Retrieving set items in Python

Since set is not a sequence data type, its items cannot be accessed individually as they do not have a positional index (as in list or tuple). Set items do not have a key either (as in dictionary) to access. You can only traverse the set items using a for loop.

Example 1

 
langs = {"C", "C++", "Java", "Python"} for lang in langs: print (lang)

It will produce the following output −

Python
C
C++
Java

Example 2

Python's membership operators let you check if a certain item is available in the set. Take a look at the following example −

 
langs = {"C", "C++", "Java", "Python"} print ("PHP" in langs) print ("Java" in langs)

It will produce the following output −

False
True
