When programming you need to be precise. tuples, sets and ranges are 3
very different things. You are treating tuples as ranges. In your
problem the tuple (1,5) represents the range 1,2,3,4,5.
But to us(and Python) a tuple is a collection of items. The tuple (1,5)
means just the two numbers 1 and 5. Its OK to use tuples to store the
range limits like that but we can't guess, you need to explain that to us.

And likewise sets has a specific meaning - a collection of unique
items (for some arbitrary definition of uniqueness).

ranges are also a thing in Python, you can define a range from
n to m-1 as range(n,m-1). That returns a range object. You might
find it easier to solve your problem if you use range objects
instead of tuples?
