Python的set集合介绍

认识python中的set集合及其用法

在python中，集合（set）是一种无序排列，可以被散列，支持集合关系测试，不支持索引和切片操作，没有特定的语法格式，只能通过工厂函数创建。集合元素中不会出现两个相同的元素，所以集合常被用来对字符串或元组或列表中的元素进行去重。

生成一个集合可以使用如下语法：

生成集合语法1：

>>> l1=[1,2,3,4,5,6]
>>> s1=set(l1)
>>> print(s1)
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

这里使用工厂函数set创建一个集合，set的参数可以是列表、元组或字符串。

生成集合语法2：

>>> s2={6,7,8,9,10}
>>> print(s2)
{8, 9, 10, 6, 7}

生成集合语法3：

>>> s3={i for i in range(10)}
>>> print(s3)
{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}

集合类型的方法和操作：

add

为集合增加一个元素，如果集合中本来已经存在这个元素对集合无影响
Add an element to a set.
This has no effect if the element is already present.

>>> s1={1,2,3,4,5,6,7}
>>> s1.add(8)
>>> print(s1)
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
>>> s1.add(9)
>>> print(s1)
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}

clear

清空集合里所有的元素
Remove all elements from this set.

>>> s1={1,2,3,4,5,6,7}
>>> s2={5,6,7,8,9}
>>> s1.clear()
>>> print(s1)
set()
>>> s2.clear()
>>> print(s2)
set()

copy

对集合进行浅拷贝(只复制元素，不复制内存地址)
Return a shallow copy of a set.

>>> s1={1,2,3,4,5,6,7}
>>> print(s1,id(s1))
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} 140509859430472
>>> s2=s1.copy()
>>> print(s2,id(s2))
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} 140509842716712

difference

求两个或多个集合的差集，并返回一个新集合
Return the difference of two or more sets as a new set.

>>> s1={1,2,3,4,5,6,7}
>>> s2={5,6,7,8,9,10}
>>> s1.difference(s2)
{1, 2, 3, 4}
>>> s2.difference(s1)
{8, 9, 10}

difference_update

把两个集合的交集部分从集合中移除
Remove all elements of another set from this set.

>>> s1={1,2,3,4,5,6,7}
>>> s2={5,6,7,8,9,10}
>>> s1.difference_update(s2)
>>> print(s1)
{1, 2, 3, 4}
>>> s1={1,2,3,4,5,6,7}
>>> s2={5,6,7,8,9,10}
>>> s2.difference_update(s1)
>>> print(s2)
{8, 9, 10}

discard

从集合中移除一个元素，如果被移除的元素不在集合中，不会报错
Remove an element from a set if it is a member.
If the element is not a member, do nothing.

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}
>>> s1.discard(7)
>>> print(s1)
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
>>> s1.discard(4)
>>> print(s1)
{1, 2, 3, 5, 6}
>>> print(s1)
{1, 2, 3, 5, 6}

intersection

求两个或多个集合中的交集
Return the intersection of two sets as a new set.

>>> s1={1,2,3,4,5,6,7}
>>> s2={5,6,7,8,9,10}
>>> s1.intersection(s2)
{5, 6, 7}
>>> s2.intersection(s1)
{5, 6, 7}

intersection_update

把两个集合的交集做为新的集合
Update a set with the intersection of itself and another.

>>> s1={1,2,3,4,5,6,7}
>>> s2={5,6,7,8,9,10}
>>> s1.intersection_update(s2)
>>> print(s1)
{5, 6, 7}
>>> print(s2)
{5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
>>> s1={1,2,3,4,5,6,7}
>>> s2={5,6,7,8,9,10}
>>> s2.intersection_update(s1)
>>> print(s2)
{5, 6, 7}
>>> print(s1)
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}

isdisjoint

两个集合没有交集则返回True
Return True if two sets have a null intersection.

>>> s1={1,2,3,4,5,6,7}
>>> s2={5,6,7,8,9,10}
>>> s1.isdisjoint(s2)
False
>>> s1={1,2,3,4}
>>> s2={6,7,8,9}
>>> s1.isdisjoint(s2)
True

issubset

如果本集合是参数集合的子集，返回True
Report whether another set contains this set.

>>> s1={1,2,3,4}
