Python .issuperset()

In Python, the .issuperset() method is used to determine if the original set contains all elements of the specified set. It returns True if every element of the specified set is also an element of the original set, and False otherwise.

Syntax

set1.issuperset(set2)

• set1: The set to be examined to determine if its elements are all present in set2.
• set2: The set to be checked to see if it contains all elements from set1.

Note: In Python, the >= operator can also be used to check if one set is a superset of another, just like the .issuperset() method.

Example

The following example demonstrates the usage of the .issuperset() method:

set_A = {"pink", "yellow", "red", "blue", "green"}
set_B = {"red", "blue", "green"}

print(set_A.issuperset(set_B))
