Introduction
In the previous post we revisited dictionaries in python. We saw how to update a dictionary by adding new items to it or removing one.
In this post we’ll start looking at something very different: exception handling.

Introduction
In the previous post we saw how to get hold of the values and keys in a dictionary. We looked at the three functions to retrieve either the key, the value or both: keys, values, items. All functions have return values that can be iterated in a for-each loop.
In this post we’ll discuss how to update a dictionary by adding new items to it or removing one.

Introduction
In the previous post we saw how to copy a set. Both the copy function and the set constructor create shallow copies with all its consequences.
In this post we’ll discuss how to retrieve and iterate over the keys and values of a dictionary.

Introduction
In the previous post we looked at some basic operations from the world of boolean set algebra supported in Python: subset, superset and disjoint. We saw how Python supported these operations natively with built-in functions and also looked at examples which tested them.
In this post we’ll look at 2 ways to create a copy of a set.

Introduction
In the previous post we looked at a 4 basic set operations from the world of set algebra: union, complement, intersection and symmetric difference. We saw how Python supported all 4 operations with convenient built-in functions.
In this post we’ll look at 3 other operations from set algebra that all return boolean results.

Introduction
In the previous post we saw how to remove an object from a set in Python. We discussed the usage of two methods, namely ‘remove’ and ‘discard’ and how they differed.
In this post we’ll go through 4 useful functions from the world of set algebra.

Introduction
In the previous post we discussed how to add new elements to an existing set. You can use the add method to add a single new element. The update function helps you insert multiple values at once. Both methods gracefully ignore duplicates, the set is guaranteed to only hold unique values.
In this post we’ll look at the opposite operation, i.e. how to remove objects.

Introduction
In the previous post we started looking at how sets are represented in Python. We saw how sets are meant to contain unique objects. Sets are not allowed to have duplicates, i.e. two objects with the same value. Duplicates are filtered out when constructing a set.
In this post we’ll see 2 ways to add elements to an already existing set.

Introduction
In the previous post we looked at the built-in enumerate function in Python. We saw how it could be used to get an item counter while looping through a collection. It provides a more elegant and reliable solution compared to a manual counter variable that’s updated after every iteration.
In this post we’ll start discussing how sets are represented in Python.

Introduction
In the previous post we looked at two ways to reverse the elements in a list. The reverse function operates directly on the list whereas the reversed function returns an independent list with the elements of the source reversed.
In this post we’ll look at a case where you may need a counter while looping through a list.
