I'm trying to modify a set but I'm having some problems doing so (I hope the code her รจ behaves the same as the one I have at home, at the moment I don't have access to the algorithms creating the specific set)
N=[[(0,0,1)],[(0,1,0)],[(0,1,1)],[(1,0,0)],[(1,0,1)],[(0,1,0)],[(1,1,1)]]
For a in N:
N.remove(a)
a.append(1)
N.append(a)
This creates problems given how it doesn't remove all the elements and doesn't modify all of them
I kinda solved by introducing another set as
V=copy(N)
For a in N:
V.remove(a)
a.append(1)
V.append(a)
Now V behaves well, so I have two questions (plus a bonus one) :
Why does the first method create problems?
Using the second method I would like (the target algorithm does this for a set of a so I need the result to pass through the same process given that I need to add other elements to every eleemnt/set) at the end to set N as equal to V but neither using N=V, N=copy(V) nor N=[] and then appending all the elemts seems to work.
Is there a better way to do what I want to do? So a better way to take elements of a set and obatain another set whose elements are the starting ones modified by adding elements from another set? E. G. starting from A=[[1], [2]] , B=[a, b] obtain A=[[1,a], [1,b], [2,a],[2,b]]
