Sets can take their contents from an iterable and let you iterate over the set's
elements::

S = {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13}
for i in S:
print(i)

functional programming language Haskell (https://www.haskell.org/). You can strip
all the whitespace from a stream of strings with the following code::

line_list = [' line 1\n', 'line 2 \n', ...]
>>> line_list = [' line 1\n', 'line 2 \n', ' \n', '']

# Generator expression -- returns iterator

You can select only certain elements by adding an ``"if"`` condition::

stripped_list = [line.strip() for line in line_list
if line != ""]
>>> stripped_list = [line.strip() for line in line_list
... if line != ""]

With a list comprehension, you get back a Python list; ``stripped_list`` is a
list containing the resulting lines, not an iterator. Generator expressions
