10. Problem to show one set is a subset of another

In this Python set program, we will show one set is a subset of another set with the help of the below-given steps.

What is set?
Sets are used to store multiple items in a single variable.
The set is one of 4 built-in data types in Python used to store collections of data.
It is an unordered collection data type that is iterable, mutable and has no duplicate elements.

Subset: A subset is a set that contains some elements of the original set.

One set is a subset of another:

Method 1 : Using in-built function

Steps to solve the program

1. Create two sets using {}.
2. Add some elements in the sets.
3. Check if one set is a subset of another set using issubset() function.
4. Print the output.

Output :

Method 2 : Using Logic

Steps to solve the program

1. Create two sets using {}.
2. Add some elements in the sets.
3. Create count variable and assign its value equal to 0.
4. Use a for loop to iterate over elements in the second set.
5. Use an if statement to check whether the element is in the first set.
6. If yes then add 1 to the count variable.
7. Use an if-else statement to check whether the value of count variable is equal to the length of the second set.
8. If yes then one set is a subset of another, else not.
9. Print the respective output.

Output :
