# Python program explaining # the set.issubset() method #initializing set1 set1 = {"mango", "banana", "apple", "tomato"} print("Set 1:",set1) # initializing set2 set2 = {"mango", "banana"} # subset of set1 print("Set 2:",set2) # will search whether all the elements of set2 are present in set1 or not value= set2.issubset(set1) # will return True print("Set 2 is a subset of Set 1:",value) |
