Python set Method - isdisjoint()
The isdisjoint()
method in Python is used to check if two sets have any common elements. It returns True
if the sets are disjoint (i.e., have no common elements), and False
otherwise.
The syntax for the isdisjoint()
method is as follows:
set1.isdisjoint(set2)
Here, set1
and set2
are the sets that we want to check for common elements. The method returns True
if the sets are disjoint (i.e., have no common elements), and False
otherwise.
Example:
# Creating two sets set1 = {1, 2, 3} set2 = {4, 5, 6} # Checking if the sets are disjoint print(set1.isdisjoint(set2)) # Output: True # Creating another set with some common elements set3 = {3, 4, 5} # Checking if the sets are disjoint print(set1.isdisjoint(set3)) # Output: False
In the above example, the isdisjoint()
method is used to check if the sets set1
and set2
are disjoint. Since they have no common elements, the method returns True
. The method is also used to check if the sets set1
and set3
are disjoint. Since they have the common element 3
, the method returns False
.
