Sets in Python: Advanced operations

This video delves into advanced set operations, building on previous knowledge of sets as collections of unique objects. It covers basic operations like union, intersection, and difference, as well as more advanced ones like symmetric difference and disjoint operations. The video also explains subset and superset concepts, including their proper versions. A practical example demonstrates using sets to compare files in different Python installations, highlighting the efficiency of sets in such tasks. Sets are ideal for testing membership and performing operations based on presence or absence in collections.
