Adding and Removing elements

We can add and remove elements form the set with the help of the below functions –

add(): Adds a given element to a set
clear(): Removes all elements from the set
discard(): Removes the element from the set
pop(): Returns and removes a random element from the set
remove(): Removes the element from the set

Example: Adding and removing elements from the Set.

Python3

# set of letters
s = {'g', 'e', 'k', 's'}
 
# adding 's'
s.add('f')
print('Set after updating:', s)
 
# Discarding element from the set
s.discard('g')
print('\nSet after updating:', s)
 
# Removing element from the set
s.remove('e')
print('\nSet after updating:', s)
 
# Popping elements from the set
print('\nPopped element', s.pop())
print('Set after updating:', s)
 
s.clear()
print('\nSet after updating:', s)

Output

Set after updating: {'g', 'k', 's', 'e', 'f'}

Set after updating: {'k', 's', 'e', 'f'}

Set after updating: {'k', 's', 'f'}

Popped element k
Set after updating: {'s', 'f'}

Set after updating: set()
