Only unique elements allowed | Duplicates allowed |
Mutable | Mutable |
Supports set operations | No set operations |
No indexing | Supports indexing |
Hashable elements only | No restrictions on elements |
In summary, sets are a collection of unique, unordered, and hashable elements, while lists are an ordered collection of mutable elements that may contain duplicates.
