Python frozenset examples

Here we will understand python frozenset function along with examples.

Example 1:

mylist = ['Python', 'Java', 'C++', 'PHP', 'HTML']
result = frozenset(mylist)
print(result)

Output

frozenset({'Java', 'HTML', 'C++', 'PHP', 'Python'})

What happen, If you try to change your frozenset item.

Example 2:

mylist = ['Python', 'Java', 'C++', 'PHP', 'HTML']
result = frozenset(mylist)
result[1] = 'CSS'
print(result)

Output

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Vishvajit\Desktop\PF Article\Python Basic part1\test.py", line 3, in <module>
    result[1] = 'CSS'
TypeError: 'frozenset' object does not support item assignment

When you try to change your frozenset item, you will get an error.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you have learned all about the Python frozenset method to create an unchangeable object. You can use any iterable ( list, set, tuple ) to convert frozenset object.
