The symmetric difference of two sets set1 and set2 is the set of elements which are in either of the sets set1 or set2 but not in both.
Syntax :
set1_name.symmetric_difference(set2_name)
Parameters :
It only takes a single set as the parameter. If a list, tuple or dictionary is passed it converts it a set and performs the task.
Return value :
Returns a set which is the symmetric difference between the two sets.
Working Code for symmetric_difference() :
# Python program to demonstrate the use of # of symmetric_difference() method list1 = [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
list2 = [ 2 , 3 , 4 ]
list3 = [ 3 , 4 , 5 ]
# Convert list to sets set1 = set (list1)
set2 = set (list2)
# Prints the symmetric difference when # set is passed as a parameter print (set1.symmetric_difference(set2))
# Prints the symmetric difference when list is # passed as a parameter by converting it to a set print (set2.symmetric_difference(list3))

Output :
{1, 4} {2, 5}
