Set

numbers = set([1, 2, 2, 3])

Square brackets [] in above example are just creating a list before converting it into a set.

Role of Square Brackets

• [1, 2, 2, 3] → this is a list literal in Python.

• Lists can contain duplicates and preserve order.

• Then set([...]) takes that list and removes duplicates, giving {1, 2, 3}.

So the square brackets are not part of the set itself — they’re simply defining the list that you pass into set().

如果年紀大了還常常運動，腦袋裡的「連接」會比較健康。

這些連接就像電線，把腦細胞連在一起。

運動能幫助腦袋製造更多「保護電線的材料」，讓腦細胞之間的訊息傳得更快、更清楚。

「保護電線的材料」不是髓鞘，而是另一類叫做突觸蛋白。它們不是包住神經的，而是幫助腦細胞之間的「接頭」更牢固，讓訊息在細胞之間傳遞得更好。
