symmetric_difference_update( ) FUNCTION

As the name suggests, the 'symmetric_difference_update( )' Function takes those values that are not present in both the sets.

x = {"Mohan", "Kriti", "Salim"}
y = {"Sia", "Andrew", "Kriti"}
x.symmetric_difference_update(y)
print(x)

Output :

{'Andrew', 'Sia', 'Salim', 'Mohan'}

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

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

Then what we have done is, put the names, 'Sia', 'Andrew' and 'Kriti' in another set 'y'.

y = {"Sia", "Andrew", "Kriti"}

And used the 'symmetric_difference_update( )' Function next.

x.symmetric_difference_update(y)

And since, 'Kriti' is present in both the Sets, only 'Kriti' would be excluded in the Set 'x'.Rest of the values would be taken.

And we get the below output,

{'Andrew', 'Sia', 'Salim', 'Mohan'}
