How to delete a set using the "del" keyword in Python
Overview
Python’s del keyword deletes a set completely.
Syntax
del set
Parameter value
The del keyword does not take a parameter value.
Code example
# creating a setmyset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}# deleting the set using the del keyworddel mysetprint(myset) # this will raise an error because the set we created no longer exists
Code explanation
The code above returns an error because myset, the set we tried printing in line 7, no longer exists. This is because we deleted it using the del keyword in line 5.
