set comprehensions

Just as you can create a set using curly brackets ({}), you can also create a set using set comprehensions. These work in a way similar to list comprehensions, but the values are unique (and without sort order):

>>> [x*y for x in range(3) for y in range(3)]
[0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 0, 2, 4]

>>> {x*y for x in range(3) for y in range(3)}
{0, 1, 2, 4}

Note

As is the case with the regular set, set comprehensions support only hashable types.
