# Python3.x Python Set discard() Method
[ Python Sets](#)
* * *
## Description
The discard() method is used to remove a specified element from a set.
This method differs from the `remove()` method because the `remove()` method raises an error if the element to be removed does not exist, whereas the `discard()` method does not.
## Syntax
The syntax for the discard() method is:
set.discard(value)
## Parameters
* value -- Required, the element to be removed
## Return Value
None.
## Example
Remove the element 'banana' from the set:
## Example 1
fruits = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"} fruits.discard("banana")print(fruits)
The output result is:
{'cherry', 'apple'}
