Python Built-in Methods – Python Set remove() Method

By on Monday, May 17, 2021

Python Set remove() Method

Removes a specified item from the set

Usage

The remove() method removes a specified item from the set.

If specified item is not present in the set, the method raises KeyError.

Syntax

set.remove(item)

Parameter Condition Description
item Required An item you want to remove from the set

Examples

# Remove 'red' from the set
S = {'red', 'green', 'blue'}
S.remove('red')
print(S)
# Prints {'blue', 'green'}

remove() method raises KeyError, if specified item doesn’t exist in a set.

S = {'red', 'green', 'blue'}
S.remove('yellow')
print(S)
# Triggers KeyError: 'yellow'

remove() vs discard()

Both methods work exactly the same. The only difference is that the discard() method doesn’t raise any error if specified item doesn’t exist in a set.

S = {'red', 'green', 'blue'}
S.discard('yellow')
print(S)
# Prints {'blue', 'green', 'red'}

Two Machine Learning Fields

There are two sides to machine learning:

  • Practical Machine Learning:This is about querying databases, cleaning data, writing scripts to transform data and gluing algorithm and libraries together and writing custom code to squeeze reliable answers from data to satisfy difficult and ill defined questions. It’s the mess of reality.
  • Theoretical Machine Learning: This is about math and abstraction and idealized scenarios and limits and beauty and informing what is possible. It is a whole lot neater and cleaner and removed from the mess of reality.
