SUBSET = Set A is said to be a subset of Set B if all the elements of Set A are also in Set B. In other words, Set A is contained inside Set B and the symbol is c . A c B can be read as A is a subset of B Example: B = { 1, 2, 3, 4 } Ways in listing subset: 4 elements: {1,2,3,4} 3 elements: {1,2,3} , {1,2,4} , {1,3,4}, {2,3,4} 2 elements: {1,2} , {1,3} , {1,4} , {2,3} , {2,4} , {3,4} 1 element: {1} , {2} , {3} , {4} 0 element: { } null set = empty set or does not contain values or elements You can check the number of subset through the formula: Where n = number of elements
