The add() Method
You can also add elements to a set. To do this, there's a specific add() method. It's important to note that with this method, you can add only one element at a time. So, if you want to add 4 elements, for example, you'll need to use this method 4 times. Let's check out an example.
# Creating an empty set favorite_movies = set() print("Initial set:", favorite_movies) # Output - Initial set: set() # Adding movies to the set favorite_movies.add("Inception") favorite_movies.add("Interstellar") favorite_movies.add("Tenet") favorite_movies.add("Dunkirk") print("Updated set:", favorite_movies) # Output - Updated set: {'Interstellar', 'Dunkirk', 'Inception', 'Tenet'}
The add() method is best used for adding single elements.
