16. Problem to find the sum of elements in a set

In this Python set program, we will find the sum of elements in a 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.

Sum of elements in a set:

Steps to solve the program

1. Create a set using {}.
2. Add some elements in the set.
3. Create a variable total and assign its value equal to 0.
4. Use a for loop to iterate over elements in the set.
5. During iteration add element to the total variable to get the sum of elements in a set.
6. Print the output.

				
					Set = {1,2,3,4,5}
total = 0
print("Original set1: ",Set)
for ele in Set:
    total += ele
print("Total of elements in the set: ",total)
				
			

Output :

				
					Original set1:  {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Total of elements in the set:  15
