Exercise:
1. Write a Python program to create a set, add member(s) in a set and remove one item
from set.
# Creating a set
my_set = {1, 2, 3}
print("Initial Set:", my_set)
# Adding member to the set
my_set.add(4)
print("After Adding 4:", my_set)
# Removing an item from the set
my_set.remove(2)
print("After Removing 2:", my_set)
2. Write a Python program to perform following operations on set: intersection of sets,
union of sets, set difference, symmetric difference, clear a set.
# Create two sets
set1 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
set2 = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

print("Minimum Value:", min(num_set))
4. Write a Python program to find the length of a set.
# Create a set
my_set = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}
# Find and display the length of the set
