# Module demonstrates use of lists and set theory principles
def Unite(set1, set2): # evaluate 2 lists, join both into 1 new list
newList = []
for item in set1:
newList.append(item)
for item in set2:
newList.append(item)
newList.sort()
return newList
def Intersect(set1, set2): # evaluate 2 lists, check for
commonalities, output commonalities to 1 new list
newList = []
for item in set1:
if item in set1 and item in set2:
newList.append(item)
newList.sort()
return newList
def Negate(set1, set2): # evaluate 2 lists, return negation of 1st list
newList = []
for item in set1:
if item in set2:
set1.remove(item)
newList = set1
return newList
could this be done in a more elegant fashion?
