Python | Sets | .remove() | Codecademy

In Python, the .remove() method removes a specified element from a set. If the element is not found, it raises a KeyError.

Syntax

set.remove(element)
  • set: The set from which the element is to be removed.
  • element: The element to be removed from the set.

Example

The below example shows the usage of the .remove() method:

my_set = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

my_set.remove(4)

print(my_set)

my_set.remove(6)

print(my_set)

The above code produces the following output:


In the above example, the .remove() method raises a KeyError since the element 6 doesn’t exist in my_set.
