A function in set theory world is simply a mapping of some or all elements from set a to some or all elements in set b.
Furthermore, both function and relation are defined as a set of lists. The proofs are performed using the proof assistant isabelle. We must show the following implication holds for any s x x x s since the empty set does not contain any element, x is. The notion of set is taken as undefined, primitive, or basic, so we dont try to define what a set is, but we can give an informal description, describe important properties of sets, and give examples.

An elegant formulation of the simple type theory which extends it by introducing functions as primitive. Functions find their application in various fields like representation of the computational complexity of algorithms, counting objects, study of sequences and strings, to name a few. For example, number 8, 10, 15, 24 are 4 distinct numbers, but when we put them together, they form a set of 4 elements, such that, 8, 10, 15, 24.

In this article, we will learn about the introduction of sets and the different types of set which is used in discrete mathematics. Two sets are equal if and only if they have the same elements. As such this is similar to the hsettheory found in homotopy type theory, which forms a. It is thus better not to think of a function in type theory as a set of ordered pairs, but as a rule, say f, applied to an inhabitant of a, say a, which when executed yields an inhabitant.
