Overview of this book

Dancing with Python helps you learn Python and quantum computing in a practical way. It will help you explore how to work with numbers, strings, collections, iterators, and files. The book goes beyond functions and classes and teaches you to use Python and Qiskit to create gates and circuits for classical and quantum computing. Learn how quantum extends traditional techniques using the Grover Search Algorithm and the code that implements it. Dive into some advanced and widely used applications of Python and revisit strings with more sophisticated tools, such as regular expressions and basic natural language processing (NLP). The final chapters introduce you to data analysis, visualizations, and supervised and unsupervised machine learning. By the end of the book, you will be proficient in programming the latest and most powerful quantum computers, the Pythonic way.

3.10 Sets

A set is a collection of items like a list, but the primary purpose is to have a structure that contains no duplicates and where testing for membership is fast. There is no order to the members of a set, so we cannot talk about “the first member in the set.” The items in a set must be immutable.

You likely encountered sets in your mathematical studies, and the Python implementation of them supports operations like union and intersection. I used sets recently in a coding project when I processed data for over two hundred companies. A Python set made it easy for me to get the collection of countries in which they were headquartered with no duplicates.

3.10.1 Creating a set

Use braces “{ }” to create a set. Suppose I have two Fender guitars, two Ovations, and a Gibson, while my friend has two Gibsons, a Gretsch, and a Fender.

my_brands = {"Fender"...
