bookAccessing the Elements of a Set

Since a set is an unordered collection, you can't access its elements by index because they don't have indices. However, you can verify whether an element exists within the set using the in keyword.

It's especially handy to use the in keyword with a for loop. Let's check out an example.


              
1234

            
set_1 = {"green", "red", "white", "blue", "black"}

for i in set_1:
    print(i)
copy

              
1234

            
set_ = {"green", "red", "white", "blue", "black"}

print("red" in set_)
print("yellow" in set_)
copy

Task

Here's your set:

You need to determine if "pear", "banana", and "lemon" are in the set.
