This is a
set literal. A set has only unique elements, and it does not keep any order.For example, I get this order back: {'Declan', 'Henry', 'Oliver'}
If you want to get an alphanumerical order, you can use
sorted on the set.sorted_unique_names = sorted(male_name)If the insertion order is important for you, then don't use a
set. Instead, use a list.You can't use a
tuple because a tuple is immutable, and you can not add or remove elements from a tuple.Since Python 3.6
dicts also keep the insertion order of keys and since Python 3.7 it's a standard of the Python language. Sometimes this feature is used, to get a set-like object with keeping the order.
