Add an element to a set

When dealing with lists, it was possible to add an element with .append() method, which would add a new element to the end of the list. When working with sets, it’s important to remember that sets don’t have a particular order, so the word append would not exactly fit its purpose. So, adding an element to a set is done thorough the .add() method.
a = {1, 2}
a.add(5)
a.add(8)
print(a)   # {8, 1, 2, 5}
If we try to add an element with append, Python will tell us that it’s not possible: AttributeError: 'set' object has no attribute 'append'.
