We can convert a string to setin Python using the set() function.
Syntax : set(iterable) Parameters : Any iterable sequence like list, tuple or dictionary. Returns : An empty set if no element is passed. Non-repeating element iterable modified as passed as argument.
Example 1 :
python
# create a string strstring = "Lazyroar"print("Initially")print("The datatype of string : " + str(type(string)))print("Contents of string : " + string)# convert String to Setstring = set(string)print("\nAfter the conversion")print("The datatype of string : " + str(type(string)))print("Contents of string : ", string) |
Output :
Initially
The datatype of string :
Contents of string : Lazyroar
After the conversion
The datatype of string :
Contents of string : {'k', 's', 'g', 'e'}
Example 2 :
python
# create a string strstring = "Hello World!"print("Initially")print("The datatype of string : " + str(type(string)))print("Contents of string : " + string)# convert String to Setstring = set(string)print("\nAfter the conversion")print("The datatype of string : " + str(type(string)))print("Contents of string : ", string) |
Output :
Initially
The datatype of string :
Contents of string : Hello World!
After the conversion
The datatype of string :
Contents of string : {'r', 'H', ' ', 'l', 'o', '!', 'd', 'W', 'e'}
Method: Using set brackets and start operator.
Algorithm:
- Initialize test string.
- Use the start operator to string traverse the string character by character and uses set brackets to hold them
- Print result.
Python3
# create a string strstring = "Lazyroar"print("Initially")print("The datatype of string : " + str(type(string)))print("Contents of string : " + string)# convert String to Setstring = {*string}print("\nAfter the conversion")print("The datatype of string : " + str(type(string)))print("Contents of string : ", string) |
Output
Initially
The datatype of string : <class 'str'>
Contents of string : Lazyroar
After the conversion
The datatype of string : <class 'set'>
Contents of string : {'s', 'k', 'e', 'g'}
Time complexity: O(N) Where N is the length of a string.
Auxiliary space: O(M) Where M is the length of a new set.
