myset.add(4)
myset.remove(1)
myset.pop()
myset.clear()

myset1.isdisjoint(myset2)  # True if there are no common values
myset1.issubset(myset2)

list(diff_set)

Union ​

python
myset1.union(myset2)
myset1 | myset2

Intersection ​

python
myset1.instersection(myset2)
myset1 & myset2

Difference ​

python
myset1.difference(myset2)
myset1 - myset2

Symmetric difference ​

python
myset1.symmetric_difference(myset2)
myset1 ^ myset2
