python基本数据类型之集合set

一、集合的定义

set集合，是一个无序且不重复的元素集合。

集合对象是一组无序排列的可哈希的值，集合成员可以做字典中的键。集合支持用in和not in操作符检查成员，由len()内建函数得到集合的基数(大小)， 用 for 循环迭代集合的成员。但是因为集合本身是无序的，不可以为集合创建索引或执行切片(slice)操作，也没有键(keys)可用来获取集合中元素的值。

二、集合的创建

s = set()
s = {11,22,33,44}

*注：创建空集合时，只能用set(),如果用第二种方法s={}，创建的实际上是一个空字典。
s = {}
print(type(s))
<class 'dict'>

a=set('boy')
b=set(['y', 'b', 'o','o'])
c=set({"k1":'v1','k2':'v2'})
d={'k1','k2','k2'}
e={('k1', 'k2','k2')}
print(a,type(a))
print(b,type(b))
print(c,type(c))
print(d,type(d))
print(e,type(e))
执行结果如下：
{'o', 'b', 'y'} <class 'set'>
{'o', 'b', 'y'} <class 'set'>
{'k1', 'k2'} <class 'set'>
{'k1', 'k2'} <class 'set'>
{('k1', 'k2', 'k2')} <class 'set'>

三、集合的功能

class set(object):
    """
    set() -> new empty set object
    set(iterable) -> new set object
     
    Build an unordered collection of unique elements.
    """
    def add(self, *args, **kwargs): # real signature unknown
        """
        Add an element to a set，添加元素
         
        This has no effect if the element is already present.
        """
        pass
 
    def clear(self, *args, **kwargs): # real signature unknown
        """ Remove all elements from this set. 清楚内容"""
        pass
 
    def copy(self, *args, **kwargs): # real signature unknown

        pass
 
    def difference(self, *args, **kwargs): # real signature unknown
        """
        Return the difference of two or more sets as a new set. A中存在，B中不存在

        """
        pass
 
    def difference_update(self, *args, **kwargs): # real signature unknown
        """ Remove all elements of another set from this set.  从当前集合中删除和B中相同的元素"""
        pass

        """

        pass
 
    def intersection(self, *args, **kwargs): # real signature unknown
        """

        pass
 
    def intersection_update(self, *args, **kwargs): # real signature unknown

        pass
 
    def isdisjoint(self, *args, **kwargs): # real signature unknown
        """ Return True if two sets have a null intersection.  如果没有交集，返回True，否则返回False"""
        pass

        """ Report whether another set contains this set.  是否是子序列"""
        pass
 
    def issuperset(self, *args, **kwargs): # real signature unknown
        """ Report whether this set contains another set. 是否是父序列"""
        pass
 
    def pop(self, *args, **kwargs): # real signature unknown
        """
        Remove and return an arbitrary set element.
        Raises KeyError if the set is empty. 移除元素
        """
        pass
 
    def remove(self, *args, **kwargs): # real signature unknown
        """
        Remove an element from a set; it must be a member.
         
        If the element is not a member, raise a KeyError. 移除指定元素，不存在保错
        """
        pass
 
    def symmetric_difference(self, *args, **kwargs): # real signature unknown
        """

        """
        pass
 
    def symmetric_difference_update(self, *args, **kwargs): # real signature unknown
        """ Update a set with the symmetric difference of itself and another. 对称交集，并更新到a中 """
        pass
 
    def union(self, *args, **kwargs): # real signature unknown
