Sets are python collections which are unordered and unindexed so you can not access or modify its items using the index. You can iterate through it using the 'for' loop as shown in the code snippet. You can use the below functions for changing sets.

.add(item) - To add an item

.update(items) - To add multiple items

.remove(item) - To remove an item
