Is cardnality of a set refers to the number of elements that set has?
It does not only refer to the number of elements; it is that number. :) For infinite sets, though, it is more complicated.yakin said:Is cardnality of a set refers to the number of elements that set has?
The cardinality of a set refers to the number of distinct elements contained within the set.
The size of a set refers to the total number of elements, including duplicates, while the cardinality only considers distinct elements.
Yes, the cardinality of a set can be infinite if the set contains an infinite number of elements. For example, the set of all natural numbers has an infinite cardinality.
The cardinality of a set is often denoted by the symbol |S|, where S is the set in question. For example, if the set S = {1,2,3}, then |S| = 3.
No, the cardinality of a set is not affected by the order of its elements. For example, the sets {1,2,3} and {3,2,1} have the same cardinality of 3.
