Below is a Python program, split up into several pieces. After each program, submit the value that would be associated with the variable answer. Note: the checker accepts valid python objects so if the answer is a string it must be wrapped in quotation marks.

If the program in question would cause an error, write error (no quotes!) in the box.

Relevant Reading - Sets

a = {1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4}
a.add(5)
answer = len(a)

a = {}
a.add("hello")
answer = "hello" in a

a = set()
a.add([3, 4])
answer = [3, 4] in a

answer = {"a", 1, 2,} != { 2, 1, "a"}

answer = sum({1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3,})

a = {(1, 2), (3, 4)}
answer = (1, 2) in a

a = {(1, 2), (3, 4)}
answer = a[(1, 2)]
