Python Coding challenge - Day 13| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Code Explanation:

1. Creating Sets

set1 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

set2 = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

set1: Contains the elements {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}.

set2: Contains the elements {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}.

Sets in Python:

Unordered collections of unique elements.

Duplicate elements are not allowed.

Supports set operations like union, intersection, difference, etc.

2. Using difference()

result = set1.difference(set2)

The difference() method finds elements that are in set1 but not in set2.

It compares set1 and set2 element by element:

In set1 but not in set2: {1, 2, 3}.

Shared elements: {4, 5} (ignored in the result).

Only in set2: {6, 7, 8} (irrelevant for this operation).

Result:

result = {1, 2, 3} (a new set containing only the unique elements from set1 that are not in set2).

3. Output (if printed)

If you add:

print(result)

The output would be:

{1, 2, 3}
