Exclusive values from two Sets in Python

Question

In my program, I have two sets which may contain some common values. I want to identify only those values from the two sets which are not common in both (something like an exclusive OR). How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

There is a direct function available to achieve this - symmetric_difference

Let's say, we have two sets A & B with values as-

A={1,2,3,4} & B={3,4,5,6} and C be the set containing values which are either in A or B but not both. The values in C can be computed as shown below-

Hope this helps.
