A set in Python is an unordered collection of unique elements. It is similar to a mathematical set, where each item appears only once and the order of elements is not important. Sets are iterable and mutable, meaning new items can be added or removed, but they cannot contain duplicates. They are commonly used to perform mathematical operations such as union, intersection, and difference, and to filter out duplicates from other collections. Sets are implemented through hash tables, so membership testing and element lookup are very efficient.
