How do I copy sets in Python with standard library only?

In Python, you can copy sets using the built-in `set` constructor or the `copy()` method. Below are examples of both methods.

This guide provides examples of how to copy sets in Python using standard library methods.

# Original set
original_set = {1, 2, 3, 4}

# Method 1: Using the set constructor
copied_set_constructor = set(original_set)

# Method 2: Using the copy() method
copied_set_method = original_set.copy()

print(copied_set_constructor)  # Output: {1, 2, 3, 4}
print(copied_set_method)       # Output: {1, 2, 3, 4}
