The built-in **```discard()```** method in Python is used to remove a specific item from a set. 

It is important to note that this method differs from the ```remove()```  method, which does the same thing. However, unlike ```remove()```, ```discard()``` will not raise an error if the *specified item* does not exist in the set that calls the method.

#   
#  Syntax

```python
set.discard(item)
```

##  
## Parameters and return value

This method requires a value that will be removed from the set to be passed as a parameter. 

The return value of ```discard()``` is ```None```.

x = {'Cats', 'Dogs', 'Elephants', 'Seals'}

x.discard('Cats')
print(x)

#Passing a value that does not exist in the set

x = {'Cats', 'Dogs', 'Elephants', 'Seals'}

x.discard('Tigers')
print(x)
