Python .remove()

In Python, the .remove() method removes a specified element from a set. If the element is not found, it raises a KeyError.

Syntax

set.remove(element)

• set: The set from which the element is to be removed.
• element: The element to be removed from the set.

Example

The below example shows the usage of the .remove() method:

# Creating a set
my_set = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

# Removing '4' from the set
my_set.remove(4)

# Printing the modified set
print(my_set)

# Removing '6' from the set
my_set.remove(6)

# Printing the modified set
print(my_set)
