copy( ) FUNCTION

The copy( ) Function is used to copy the contents of a Set into a new Set.

Example :

x = {"Mohan", "Kriti", "Salim"}
y = x.copy()
print("The Copied Set is ",y)

Output :

The Copied Set is {'Kriti', 'Salim', 'Mohan'}

So, in the above code we have created a 'List' and initialised to the variable 'x'.

x = {"Mohan", "Kriti", "Salim"}

Then we have used the 'copy( )' method that would create an exact copy of 'x'. And assign it to 'y'.

y = x.copy( )

And we get the below output,

The Copied Set is {'Kriti', 'Salim', 'Mohan'}

Note : Do not use the '=' operator to copy a Set to the other(i.e. If there are two Set 'x' and 'y'. Do not use y = x). Because in that case any changes made to the Set 'x' will be reflected in the copied Set 'y'.
