Python's set.discard(~) method removes an element from the set. Unlike the set.remove(~) method, even If the element is not present in the set it will not raise an exception.

Parameters

1. elem | any

The element to be removed from the set if present.

Return value

None

Examples

Basic usage

To remove 'blue' from the set:

colors = {'red','blue'}
colors.discard('blue')
print(colors)
{'red'}

Even if the element does not exist in the set, no exception is raised:

colors = {'red','blue'}
colors.discard('green')
print(colors)
{'red', 'blue'}
