# Set

```python
# start with an empty set

my_set = set()

print(my_set)
```

```
set()
```

```python
# add a few elements

my_set.add('a')
my_set.add('b')
my_set.add('c')
my_set.add(1)
my_set.add(2)
my_set.add(3)

print(my_set)
```

```
{1, 2, 3, 'b', 'c', 'a'}
```

```python
for element in my_set:
    print(element)
```

```
1
2
3
b
c
a
```

```python
# and they haven't changed. What if we remove "a"
my_set.remove("a")
print("there are", len(my_set), "elements in my_set")
print(my_set)
```

```python
there are 5 elements in my_set
{1, 2, 3, 'b', 'c'}
```

```
# Initializing two sets

odds   = set([1,3,5,7,9])
primes = set([2,3,5,7])

# Demonstration of the "intersection" between two sets
# The intersection corresponds to the overlapping region
# in the Venn Diagram above.

odd_AND_prime = odds.intersection(primes)
print(odd_AND_prime)

# Demonstration of the "union" of two sets. The union
# of sets A and B includes ANY element that is in A OR B 
# or both.

odd_OR_prime = odds.union(primes)

# Demonstration of the "set difference" between two sets.
# What do you expect odds-primes to return?
