AttributeError: 'set' object has no attribute 'extend' in Python

Dung Do Tien Aug 16 2022 410

Hello everyone, I am a newbie in Python and today I have two lists that contain the same format data. I want to insert all data from the second list into the first list by using extend() method. Here is my example:

 lst_phone1 = {"Nokia 1080", "Nokia 860", "Vertu"}
lst_phone2 = {"Samsung galaxy", "Iphone 12", "RedMe 10"}
lst_phone1.extend(lst_phone2)
print(lst_phone1)

But I got an exception throw AttributeError: 'set' object has no attribute 'extend'. Here is detail of the exception:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 3, in <module>
    lst_phone1.extend(lst_phone2)
AttributeError: 'set' object has no attribute 'extend'


** Process exited - Return Code: 1 **
Press Enter to exit terminal

Anyone can explain and solve the issue to help me?

Thanks for any support.

    You can see this error message tells us that we cannot use the method extend() on an object whose data type is a set. This is because extend() is a list method. It is not supported by sets.

    If we want to merge our two sets, we have to use an addition sign:

     lst_phone1 = {"Nokia 1080", "Nokia 860", "Vertu"}
    lst_phone2 = {"Samsung galaxy", "Iphone 12", "RedMe 10"}
    lst_phone1.update(lst_phone2)
    print(lst_phone1)

    #Output

     {'Vertu', 'RedMe 10', 'Iphone 12', 'Nokia 1080', 'Samsung galaxy', 'Nokia 860'}
    
    
    ** Process exited - Return Code: 0 **
    Press Enter to exit terminal

    Hope this answer can solve the problem for you.
