Your messages are becoming quite disruptive and inconsiderate of your
readers.

Please take more care with each message, don't bombard us with a series
of poorly-thought-out, hyper-abbreviated messages.

Please take extreme-beginner discussions to the ‘tutor’
<URL:https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor> forum.

You are very close. Let me remind you of the original task text:

  add items `"ANDELA"`, `"TIA"` and `"AFRICA"` to the set and return the 
  resulting set

Your previous attempt (with hardwired values inside the function) actually had 
code to do it.

While you have pulled out all the hardwired values from the function (good) and 
put them in the external calls, note that the task explicitly says "add items 
`"ANDELA"`, `"TIA"` and `"AFRICA"` to the set". So _those_ values _are_ 
supposed to be hardwired inside the function - they are a fixed part of the 
task. So move them back in, as in your previous attempt.

There is some ambiguity in that part of the question: should you return a _new_ 
set consistint of the original set plus the three new values, or simply add the 
three values to the original set? Your prior code modified the original set, 
which may fit the task specification.

However, it is a common design objective that functions do not, _normally_, 
modify their arguments. So, consider this code:

  set1 = {"a", "b", "c", "d", "e"}
  set2 = manipulate_data("set", set1)

After running this, set2 should look like this:

  {"a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "ANDELA", "TIA", "AFRICA"}

(in some order -- sets are not ordered). However, what about set1? In your 
current code, set1 is modified, so it will be the same. But you can imagine 
that it would be more useful for the caller if set1 were unchanged.

In python, the convention is usually that if a function returns the new value 
then it should not modify the original. So you should probably construct a copy 
of the original set and modify that:

  data = set(data)
  ... add the new values ...
  return data

Hi Lee,

While we're generally happy to help, these questions are better taken to the 
tutor list here:

  https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Please join that list and ask you questions there.

The "python-list" list is more for people who are already competent with Python 
and programming and who are asking broader questions. The tutor list is 
specificly aimed at people like yourself who are either very new to Python or 
new to programming (and learning to program in Python).

Note that I have directed replies to this specific message to myself, we're off 
topic for python-list now...

Cheers,
Cameron Simpson <cs@zip.com.au>

	Read the Python tutorial... Look in the help system for "function"... 

	Functions are basic features of practically every programming language.
Even K&K BASIC from 1968 has them... (not to mention LISP and FORTRAN from
the 50s).

	These are questions that your instructor should have answered in the
class.

You appear to be yet another different person asking about this homework
assignment.

Please:

* This forum is not suitable for the kind of close attention to very
  basic learning. Take this discussion to the ‘tutor’ forum
  <URL:https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor>, which is much
  better focussed on close collaborative mentoring of beginners.

* Choose a single spokesperson, and have that person provide continuity
  in the discussion by responding consistently from the same email
  address.

* Learn proper email etiquette (plain text messages, quoted material,
  give sufficient context, etc.) to help the community understand what
  each message is about.

if you have followed this thread from the beginning , you should have  been aware that different people have contributed in asking/answering on this same discussion and nobody has any problem with that, so please if someone ( same or different) needs help on a single problem , allow them contribute, they could be the source of getting the problem solved. thanks prince( botic) , will try you suggestion
