Python - Access Set Items
Access Items
You cannot access items in a set by referring to an index or a key.
But you can loop through the set items using a for
loop, or ask if a specified value is present in a set, by using the
in
keyword.
Example
Loop through the set, and print the values:
thisset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}
for x in thisset:
print(x)

Change Items
Once a set is created, you cannot change its items, but you can add new items.
