remove(element) takes one argument .

element : matching element to be removed from set
Returns : No return value.

my_set={'a','b','c','x','k'}
my_set.remove('x')
print(my_set)

{'c', 'a', 'k', 'b'}

In above code x is deleted from my_set.

If the element is not present then discard() will not generate error.
