Why is the order in dictionaries and sets arbitrary?
I don’t understand how looping over a dictionary or set in python is done by ‘arbitrary’ order.

I have two lists in Python:
Python has an ordered dictionary. What about an ordered set?
Given a set
How can I make as “perfect” a subclass of dict as possible? The end goal is to have a simple dict in which the keys are lowercase.
In Python, which data structure is more efficient/speedy? Assuming that order is not important to me and I would be checking for duplicates anyway, is a Python set slower than a Python list?
I’ve seen people say that set
objects in python have O(1) membership-checking. How are they implemented internally to allow this? What sort of data structure does it use? What other implications does that implementation have?
I am playing with python and am able to get the intersection of two lists:
I have a Python set
that contains objects with __hash__
and __eq__
methods in order to make certain no duplicates are included in the collection.
I have a list of sets:
