Explanation:

Set--

A set is a collection of well defined objects.

• The objects of the set are also known as elements of a set.

• A set S is defined as follows:

S= {a,b,c,d}

where a,b,c and d are elements of the set.

• Also, a set with finite number of elements i.e. whose elements could be counted is known as a finite set else it is infinite set.

• Also, a set with zero elements is known as a empty or a null set.
