Access Items

You cannot access items in a set by referring to an index or a key.

But you can loop through the set items using a for loop, or ask if a specified value is present in a set, by using the in keyword.

python

thisset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}for val_1 in thisset:  print(val_1)

python

thisset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}print("banana" 
  in thisset)

python

thisset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}print("banana" 
  not in thisset)

Note: Once a set is created, you cannot change its items, but you can add new items.
