What is distinction between 'sent3' and 'set(sent3)'?

[deanhystad]

What does set_a > set_b even mean? Lists and tuples compare element by element, but since a tuple has no order, it makes no sense to compare elements. You say "distinct token total", but what does that mean? setA > setB if setA has more things? That is not the basis of comparison for any of the other collection types.

To be honest I am surprised that > and < don't throw an error when used with sets. The result is meaningless. Try this:

x = {'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'}
y = {'f', 'd', 'c', 'b', 'a'}
print(x > y)
print(y > x)
print(x == y)

Equal works if both sets have the same elements, but the code above returns:

Output:
False
False
False
