Types of Sets

  • Empty set or null set or void set. E.g. { } or phi
  • Finite set. E.g. {x : x <10, x belongs to N}
  • Infinite set. E.g. {x: x belongs to N}
  • Singleton set. E.g. {5}.
  • Equal sets. E.g. A = {2, 4, 8, 6}, B = {x:x = even number, x<10}
  • Equivalent sets. E.g. A = {2, 5, 5}, B = {a, c, d}; n(A) = n(B) = 3.
