The common way to create a set is,
st = set()
but, when we do something like this,
%%time
for _ in range(1_000_000):
x = set()
CPU times: user 188 ms, sys: 0 ns, total: 188 ms
Wall time: 192 ms
%%time
for _ in range(1_000_000):
x = {*()}
CPU times: user 163 ms, sys: 970 µs, total: 164 ms
Wall time: 169 ms
clearly the uncommon way is outperforming the common way to create a set.
What is the reasoning behind this difference in time?
Shouldn't the uncommon way be made the standard way to create a set due to it outperforming the common way?
