I want to make a set from alphabets of a user input for example: input is: "something" and the output must be: { 's', 'o', 'm', 'e', 't', 'h', 'i', 'n', 'g'} I wrote it like below but it caused an error saying the input must be iterable!
str = print("please enter a string:")
str_set = set(str)
print(str_set)
If you want to input something from the user you should use the input() function:
s = input("please enter a string:")
str_set = set(s)
print(str_set)
You have two errors:
str is built-in, so you need a different name.input to catch the input, not just print.str1 = input("please enter a string:")
str_set = set(str1)
print(str_set)
You could also shorten to just one line if you want to be more concise, but when trading concision against readability, lean towards readability:
str_set = set(input("please enter a string: "))
First of all you shouldn't named variables using buildins objects names like: str, int, float and so one.
print function will return None and isn't iterable, so you get an error. You should use input function instead.
user_input = input("please enter a string:")
There are some rules for naming variables, one of which is that you can't use reserved words such as: print, str, int, float, input, etc. for naming your variables. You can learn more about the rules here: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/python-variables/
And about the code, I believe this would help:
user_input = input("Please enter a string: ")
list_of_letters = list(user_input)
print(list_of_letters)
First you need to use input instead of print. print is to print something on terminale/ command line, it is also possible to get user input with your script without (str =) like so :
import sys
def printerd():
print('please enter a string:', end='')
sys.stdout.flush()
data = sys.stdin.readline()[:-1]
print(list(data))
printerd()
this will print please enter a string : and wait for user to type something and then print an array ['s', 'o', etc].
