unordered set in python...questi on about how the items within it are displayed

1 New Member
since sets in python are unordered collection,a set does't show the items it contains in the same order they have added. is it however safe to assume that the items will be displayed always in the same order?? eg.
i create the following set
test = set['regina', 'paul', 12, 'cool' ]

if i want to show the items in test
test
i may get the following output: set(['cool', 12, 'paul', 'regina'])
does it mean the items will be showed from now on in that same order?
thanks folks

Probably in the short term, but there is no guarantee the order will be the same in other versions of Python.

Hi I'm trying to teach myself python and so far to good, but I'm having a bit of trouble getting a function to work the way I think it should work. Right now I'm taking a simple program I wrote in Fortran and trying to do it in Python. I got it to work, but now I'm trying to modularize it. My fortran program uses a subroutine and I was trying to do the same thing in Python. But I'm still new so I'm having trouble understanding what I'm...

Hi Guys How can I modify the items within a hashtable "in situ" so to speak? At the moment, I am locating the item that I want, extracting it, modifying the item, deleting the hashtable item, and then adding back the modified item to hashtable. This seems rather long winded, and surely there must be a simpler way than that.

Yesterday, I posted a question dealing with an issue of trying to reference (from javascript on the client side) an item within a Repeater. My code was hard-coded to use the actual ClientId, but someone admonished me, stating that I shouldn't do that because the id could change. However, since I'm trying to reference a control on a Repeater line, I'm wondering how else to do that. Repeaters aren't rendered in html are they? What method...

Hi, I'm trying to learn Python. I using Aquamac an emac implementation with mac os x. I have a program. If I go to the command prompt and type pythong myprog.py, it works.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
