Let\u2019s try to make use of the assignment operator, and do something like copyset = myset. Let\u2019s see what happens when we try doing this.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3383 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/gyanipandit.com\/programming\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/THE-copy-METHOD-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"664\" height=\"72\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gyanipandit.com\/programming\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/THE-copy-METHOD-1.jpg 664w, https:\/\/gyanipandit.com\/programming\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/THE-copy-METHOD-1-300x33.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 664px) 100vw, 664px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As you can see in the above program, we have that simple tuple again, and in the next line, we are doing copyset = myset. Well, if we try to have a look at the output, the output would be similar to what we got with the copy method. But things are not like that. When we used the copy method, it returned a copy of that set. But here, when we are using the simple assignment operator, the copyset variable now points to the same set, as the myset variable. So, there are not two sets, but there are two reference variables, pointing to one set. Let\u2019s try to make changes to the set.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3384 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/gyanipandit.com\/programming\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/THE-copy-METHOD-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"88\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gyanipandit.com\/programming\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/THE-copy-METHOD-2.jpg 650w, https:\/\/gyanipandit.com\/programming\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/THE-copy-METHOD-2-300x41.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As you can see, we tried to add element 60 to the set, and then we are trying to print the set whose reference variable is copyset. On observing the output, we can find that the element was also there in the set referred to by the copyset variable. This is because there are no two sets, but there is one set and two reference variables for that set. So, now we know that the copy method returns the copy of the set.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Python Set copy Now, we are going to learn about the copy method here.
