Chapter “Organising information: unordered structures”, exercise 3

Text

Suppose to organise some of the elements in the set returned by the second exercise in two different sets: set_hobbit that refers to the set set({"Frodo", "Sam", "Pippin", "Merry"}), and set_magician defined as set({"Saruman", "Gandalf"}). Create a dictionary containing two pairs: one that associates the set of hobbits with the key "hobbit", and the other that associates the set of magicians with the key "magician".

Answer

set_hobbit = set()
set_hobbit.add("Frodo")
set_hobbit.add("Sam")
set_hobbit.add("Pippin")
set_hobbit.add("Merry")

set_magician = set()
set_magician.add("Saruman")
set_magician.add("Gandalf")

my_dict = dict()
my_dict["hobbit"] = set_hobbit
my_dict["magician"] = set_magician
