Python Set - symmetric_difference method

Method Signature:

symmetric_difference(anotherSetObject_in)

Overview:

A difference set is returned - with elements that are present in either of the sets.
However the elements that are present in both the sets will be excluded.

Parameters:

anotherSetObject_in: The set to be compared to produce the difference set.
 

Example:

# Example Python program that finds the symmetric difference
# between two sets
sportList1    = {"Football", "Golf", "Hockey", "Polo", "Tennis"}
sportList2    = {"Carrom", "Table tennis", "Chess", "Tennis"}

# Find the symmetric difference
symDiff     = sportList1.symmetric_difference(sportList2)
print(symDiff)

Output:

{'Carrom', 'Table tennis', 'Golf', 'Football', 'Chess', 'Hockey', 'Polo'}
