waiting for your suggestions about symmetric difference algorithm
A code I wrote about the symmetric difference algorithm. How could this code be written better? It works fine, but is there a bug you noticed? def sym(a, *args): c = 0 T = True while T: lst = [] for i in a: if i not in args[c]: if i not in lst: lst.append(i) else: continue for i in args[c]: if i not in a: if i not in lst: lst.append(i) else: continue c += 1 a = lst if c == len(args): T = False lst.sort() return lst

from : https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/coding-interview-prep/algorithms/find-the-symmetric-difference
The mathematical term symmetric difference (ā³ or ā) of two sets is the set of elements which are in either of the two sets but not in both. For example, for sets A = {1, 2, 3} and B = {2, 3, 4}, A ā³ B = {1, 4}.
Symmetric difference is a binary operation, which means it operates on only two elements. So to evaluate an expression involving symmetric differences among three elements (A ā³ B ā³ C), you must complete one operation at a time. Thus, for sets A and B above, and C = {2, 3}, A ā³ B ā³ C = (A ā³ B) ā³ C = {1, 4} ā³ {2, 3} = {1, 2, 3, 4}.

I'm not sure about symmetric deference algorithm.
But your code makes me think of this code
class Point{
constractor(x,y) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
static slopeAB (A, B) {
const dx = A.x-B.x;
const dy = A.y-B.y;
return dy/dx;
}
}
const P1= new Point(1,2);
const P2 = new Point(3,4);
console.log(Point.slopeAB(P1,P2));

Bekir Not sure if this is what you require as I'm pretty weak in math:
def sym(*sets):
result = [ ]
for each in sets:
for elm in each:
if elm in result:
result.remove(elm)
else:
result.append(elm)
return result
