How can I add items to an empty set in python

Question

I have the following procedure:

def myProc(invIndex, keyWord):
    D={}
    for i in range(len(keyWord)):
        if keyWord[i] in invIndex.keys():
                      


        

Answer 1

When you assign a variable to empty curly braces {} eg: new_set = {}, it becomes a dictionary. To create an empty set, assign the variable to a 'set()' ie: new_set = set()
