The issuperset method
The issuperset method checks whether elements of a sequence are included in a set. The method returns a Boolean value - True or False. In the parameter, we specify the sequence with which we want to compare the elements of the set.
Syntax
set.issuperset(sequence)
Example
Let's check if the elements of the second set are included in the first using the issuperset method:
st1 = {'a', 'b', 'c'}
st2 = {'e', 'g', 'a'}
res = st1.issuperset(st2)
print(res)
Result of code execution:
False
Example
Now let's check the occurrence of elements again using the issuperset method:
st1 = {'a', 'b', 'c'}
st2 = {'a', 'b', 'c'}
res = st1.issuperset(st2)
print(res)
Result of code execution:
True
Example
Let's compare the elements of a list with the elements of a set:
st = {'a', 'b', 'c'}
lst = ['a', 'b', 'c']
res = st.issuperset(lst)
print(res)
Result of code execution:
True
Example
Now let's compare the elements of a tuple with a set:
st = {'a', 'b', 'c'}
tlp = ('a', 'b', 'c')
res = st.issuperset(tlp)
print(res)
Result of code execution:
True
Example
The issuperset method also has a short form:
st1 = {'a', 'b', 'c'}
st2 = {'e', 'g', 'a'}
res = st1 >= st2
print(res)
Result of code execution:
False
