Set .symmetric_difference() Operation in python - HackerRank Solution
Problem :
.symmetric_difference()
The .symmetric_difference() operator returns a set with all the elements that
are in the set and the iterable but not both.Sometimes, a ^ operator is used in place of the .symmetric_difference() tool, but it only operates on the set of elements in set.
The set is immutable to the .symmetric_difference() operation (or ^
operation).
>>> s = set("Hacker") >>> print s.symmetric_difference("Rank") set(['c', 'e', 'H', 'n', 'R', 'r']) >>> print s.symmetric_difference(set(['R', 'a', 'n', 'k'])) set(['c', 'e', 'H', 'n', 'R', 'r']) >>> print s.symmetric_difference(['R', 'a', 'n', 'k']) set(['c', 'e', 'H', 'n', 'R', 'r']) >>> print s.symmetric_difference(enumerate(['R', 'a', 'n', 'k'])) set(['a', 'c', 'e', 'H', (0, 'R'), 'r', (2, 'n'), 'k', (1, 'a'), (3, 'k')]) >>> print s.symmetric_difference({"Rank":1}) set(['a', 'c', 'e', 'H', 'k', 'Rank', 'r']) >>> s ^ set("Rank") set(['c', 'e', 'H', 'n', 'R', 'r'])
Task :
Students of District College have subscriptions to English and French newspapers. Some students have subscribed to English only, some have subscribed to French only, and some have subscribed to both newspapers.You are given two sets of student roll numbers.
