Stuck on Python Intermediate: "You are Qualified!" problem (sets)

Question

Hi,

I'm really stuck on this problem:
https://www.sololearn.com/codecoach/1069?language=py

I think it wants me to output the common value(s) between the two sets but the test fails when I attempt to run this:

skills = {'Python', 'HTML', 'SQL', 'C++', 'Java', 'Scala'}
job_skills = {'HTML', 'CSS', 'JS', 'C#', 'NodeJS'}

print(skills & job_skills)

I've added it to code playground so you can see what I've tried: https://code.sololearn.com/c862a9A22A20

Answer 1

for i in skills & job_skills:
print(i)

Answer 2

This is not a proper solution because there maybe more common language but you can also try this

lang = skills & job_skills
print (lang.pop())

Answer 3

Felicity Ratcliffe

Yes that's what I said this is not a proper solution for more common Languages.

Check my statement once.

Answer 4

I Am AJ ! my apologies, I thought you were referring to the previously provided solution, no worries, thank you

Answer 5

MSAS oh my goodness 😅thank you! That seems SO obvious now haha!

Answer 6

I Am AJ ! that only outputs the first common element though, and I think I need to output them all

Answer 7

I was also stuck on this and therefore found this thread when looking for a solution. I think the examples that belong to this exercise are chosen quite badly though, because they show exactly that
print(set1 & set2) should yield the wanted intersect result. That's why I also went for that answer, which didn't work. Still not sure why they chose these examples when they are actually not useful or working?

Answer 8

There is a formatting difference in return from from just using the print statement versus using the .pop statement, thanks I Am Time for the suggestion.

>>> skills = {'Python', 'HTML', 'SQL', 'C++', 'Java', 'Scala'}
>>> job_skills = {'HTML', 'CSS', 'JS', 'C#', 'NodeJS'}

>>> print(skills & job_skills)
{'HTML'}

>>> match = skills & job_skills

>>> print(match.pop())
HTML

I think maybe a little bit more context around what the specific output needs to be format wise would be a little bit more helpful when doing the exercise.

Answer 9

i think the solution conatined the curly braces...
have you tried ahving teh solutio in list format?
try print(skills&job_skills)

Answer 10

I want to know why we used print(list(skills&job_skills)[0]) instead of print(skills&job_skills)
Could anyone help me in this problem

Answer 11

Why does the code not print the output like lists is it bc they arent lists?

Answer 12

Why using pop is necessary?

Answer 13

any solutions yet?
