Python Sets True/False Questions – Practice and Test Your Knowledge

Test your understanding of Python sets with true/false questions. Practice set operations, membership, and manipulation to strengthen your Python programming skills. Ideal for beginners and students preparing for exams or interviews.

🔍 True or False

🟢 Beginner

  1. In Python, sets can contain duplicate elements.
  2. Answer

    ❌ False – Sets automatically remove duplicate elements, as they only store unique values.


  3. Sets in Python are mutable objects.
  4. Answer

    ✅ True – Sets are mutable, meaning you can add or remove elements after creation.


  5. You can create an empty set in Python using empty curly braces: {}.
  6. Answer

    ❌ False – Empty curly braces create an empty dictionary. To create an empty set, you must use set().


  7. You can add a list as an element to a set in Python.
  8. Answer

    ❌ False – Lists are unhashable (mutable) and cannot be added to sets. You would need to convert the list to a tuple first.


🟡 Intermediate

  1. Frozen sets in Python are mutable versions of regular sets.
  2. Answer

    ❌ False – Frozen sets are immutable versions of regular sets.


  3. The union() method returns a new set containing elements from both sets without modifying the original sets.
  4. Answer

    ✅ True – union() creates and returns a new set without modifying the original sets.


  5. The difference_update() method modifies the original set by removing elements found in another set.
  6. Answer

    ✅ True – difference_update() modifies the set in-place, unlike difference() which returns a new set.


  7. The symmetric_difference() method returns elements that are in exactly one of the sets.
  8. Answer

    ✅ True – symmetric_difference() returns elements that are in either set but not in both.


🔴 Advanced

  1. Set comprehension in Python uses the same syntax as list comprehension but with angle brackets instead of square brackets.
  2. Answer

    ❌ False – Set comprehension uses curly braces {}, like dictionary comprehension, but without key-value pairs.


  3. Sets in Python maintain the insertion order of elements.
  4. Answer

    ❌ False – Sets are unordered collections and do not maintain insertion order (though since Python 3.7, they maintain insertion order as an implementation detail, this shouldn't be relied upon).
