python SET

### Python Set Usage and Examples

In Python, sets are collections of unique elements that do not allow duplicates. Sets provide efficient methods for membership testing as well as mathematical operations such as union, intersection, difference, and symmetric difference.

#### Creating a Set
A set can be created using curly braces `{}` or by calling the `set()` constructor:

# Using curly braces
fruits = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}

# Using set() function
numbers = set([1, 2, 3])
empty_set = set()

Sets automatically remove duplicate entries when initialized[^1]:

letters = set(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g'])
print(letters)  # Output will contain only one instance per letter even if there were duplicates.

#### Adding Elements to a Set
Elements can be added individually via `.add()` method or multiple items through `.update()` which accepts iterables like lists or tuples:

colors = {"red", "green"}
colors.add("blue")                    # Add single element
colors.update(["yellow", "purple"])   # Add multiple elements at once

#### Removing Elements from a Set
There exist several ways to delete members; however caution must exercised since attempting removal non-existent item raises KeyError unless handled properly:

primes = {2, 3, 5}
primes.remove(3)                      # Removes specified value directly but fails silently on absence
try:
    primes.discard(7)                 # Similar behavior except does nothing upon missing key rather than erroring out
except KeyError:
    pass                              # Handle exception here instead
    
if 11 in primes:                       # Check existence before deletion avoids exceptions too
    primes.remove(11)
else:
    print("Element was already absent.")

#### Common Operations Between Two Sets
Mathematical functions enable performing standard algebraic manipulations over two distinct groups easily without explicit iteration loops required elsewhere often seen within other languages' implementations similarly named constructs might require more verbose syntaxes compared against python's succinctness offered below:

Let us define two sample data structures first:

group_a = {1, 2, 3, 4}        # First group containing integers ranging between 1 & 4 inclusive both ends
group_b = {3, 4, 5, 6}        # Second collection holding values starting after previous ending point plus overlap region shared amongst themselfs partially overlapping earlier defined range above
