Convert String to Set in Python

There are multiple ways of converting a String to a Set in python, here are some of the methods.

Using set()

The easiest way of converting a string to a set is by using the set() function.

Example 1 : 

s = "Geeks" print(type(s)) print(s) # Convert String to Set set_s = set(s) print(type(set_s)) print(set_s) 

<class 'str'> Geeks <class 'set'> {'s', 'e', 'k', 'G'} 

Let's explore other methods of converting string to set:

Using set() with split() method (for words)

To convert words from a sentence into a set, use spilt() method before set().

Example:

s = "Geek for Geeks" # split the string and then convert it to set set_words = set(s.split()) print(set_words) 

{'for', 'Geeks', 'Geek'} 

Using dict.fromkeys()

We can also convert a string to a set by using dict.fromkeys() as it creates a dictionary from an iterable and sets the values to none for every key.

Example:

# create a string s = "developer" set_s = set(dict.fromkeys(s)) print(set_s) 

{'l', 'v', 'o', 'd', 'e', 'p', 'r'}
