Function Details: pop_(set)

Description

Removes and return an arbitrary set element. Raises KeyError if the set is empty.

Extended Description

The pop() method removes and returns an arbitrary element from the set. Since sets are unordered, there's no 'last' element, so the specific element removed is arbitrary. If the set is empty, pop() raises a KeyError. This method modifies the set in-place, reducing its size by one.
