It can have any number of elements; the order of the elements in a set is undefined. You can add and delete elements from a set, iterate through the set&#8217;s elements, and perform standard set operations (union, intersection, difference). Aside from that, you can see if an element is a member of a set.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast to arrays, where the elements are stored in an ordered list, the order of elements in a set is undefined (moreover, the set elements are usually not stored in order of appearance in the set; this allows checking if an element belongs to a set faster than just going through all the elements of the set).<\/p>\n<h2>Add vs Update in Set<\/h2>\n<p>In this article, we will look at the main differences between Python&#8217;s add() and update() functions for Set.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#add()_function\">add() function<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#update()_function\">update() function<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#add()_vs_update()_difference\">add() vs update() difference<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Number_of_items_to_be_added_to_set\">Number of items to be added to set<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Execution_time\">Execution time<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Mutable_and_immutable_parameters_in_add()_and_update()_function\">Mutable and immutable parameters in add() and update() function<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Adding_multiple_elements_using_update\">Adding multiple elements using update<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"add()_function\">1)add() function<\/h3>\n<p>If the element is not already present in the set, the set add() method adds it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Syntax:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><code class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\">set.add(element)<\/code><\/p>\n<p><strong>Parameters:<\/strong><\/p>\n<pre>add() accepts a single parameter (element) that must be added to the set.<\/pre>\n<p><strong>Return:<\/strong><\/p>\n<pre>The add() method does not return any value.<\/pre>\n<h3 id=\"update()_function\">2)update() function<\/h3>\n<p>set&#8217;s update() function adds elements from another set (passed as an argument) to the set.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Syntax:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><code class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"python\">set.update(*args)<\/code><\/p>\n<p><strong>Parameters:<\/strong><\/p>\n<pre>The Update() method only accepts one argument.
