    `other` - A `BaseSet` instance.
  Returns:
    The union of the two sets as a new set.

### __and__

    public PyObject __and__(PyObject other)

  The intersection of the `this` with `other`.

  (I.e. all elements that are in both sets)

  Overrides:
    `__and__` in class `PyObject`

    `other` - A `BaseSet` instance.
  Returns:
    The intersection of the two sets as a new set.

### __sub__

  The difference of the `this` with `other`.

  (I.e. all elements that are in this set and not in the other)

  Overrides:
    `__sub__` in class `PyObject`
  Parameters:
    `other` - A `BaseSet` instance.
  Returns:
    The difference of the two sets as a new set.

  Parameters:
    `other` - A `BaseSet` instance.
  Returns:
    The symmetric difference of the two sets as a new set.

### symmetric_difference
