Function Details: set

Description

Returns a new set object, optionally with elements taken from iterable.

Extended Description

The set() function creates a new set object. Sets are unordered collections with no duplicate elements. They support mathematical operations like union, intersection, difference, and symmetric difference. Sets are mutable, and elements must be immutable (hashable). If an iterable is provided, it creates a set with elements from the iterable.
