Using the clear() Method: Removing All Elements from a Set

Just like in other data structures, the clear() method completely wipes out all the elements.

Let's say you have a set of favorite movies, but you decide to start fresh and clear the collection:

1234567
# Define a set of favorite movies movies = {"Inception", "Interstellar", "Tenet"} print("Original set:", movies) # Clear the set movies.clear() print("After clearing:", movies)
copy
Task

Swipe to start coding

You are given the set of the worst movies by audience ratings, worst_movies.

  • Clear this set.
  • Use the clear() method to accomplish this.
