2 ways to do it:

  1. j = set()
    j.add(a) # a can be anything. If you want integer you can type cast it with int()

  2. j = {''} # initializing a set in this way requires some default parameter otherwise python will make it a dictionary
    j.add(1) or
    j.add(a) # where a is an integer
    j.remove('') # remove the initial string that we added

It because you have to call it to get a set

j = set()
j.add(int(input()))
