Python Sets: Loop Sets

Iterate Over Set Items

When working with sets in Python, you can iterate through each item using a `for` loop. This allows you to perform actions on each element within the set.

Example:

Consider a set containing different fruits. You can loop through the set and print each value as follows:


thisset = {"grape", "orange", "pear"}

for fruit in thisset:
print(fruit)

In this example, the loop iterates through each item in the thisset set and prints them individually. Since sets are unordered, the items might be printed in a different order every time you run the code. This characteristic makes sets particularly useful when the order of elements doesn’t matter, but uniqueness is required.
