Python: Iteration over sets

Python sets: Exercise-2 with Solution

Write a Python program to iteration over sets.

Sample Solution-1:

Iterate over the set without indexes:

Python Code:

#Create a set 
num_set = set([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
for n in num_set:
  print(n, end=' ')
print("\n\nCreating a set using string:")
char_set = set("w3resource")  
# Iterating using for loop
for val in char_set:
    print(val, end=' ')

Sample Output:

0 1 2 3 4 5 

Creating a set using string:
c e 3 u r o w s

Sample Solution-2:

Iterating over a set as indexed list:

Python Code:

char_set = set("w3resource")  
char_set = list(char_set)  
# Iterating over a set as a indexed list
for id in range(len(char_set)):
        print(char_set[id], end=' ')

Sample Output:

3 w o u e r s c

Sample Solution-3:

Using the enumerate type:

Python Code:

num_set = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
# Iterate over the set
for value,char in enumerate(num_set):
   print(char, end=' ')

Sample Output:

0 1 2 3 4 5

Python: Tips of the Day

Find current directory and file's directory:

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

To get the current working directory use

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()

Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:

  • The os and os.path modules.
  • The __file__ constant
  • os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
  • os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
  • os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
  • os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
