## Sets

A set is a collection of well defined distinct objects or symbols. Well defined objects mean that the objects possess a property that enables one to determine whether a given object is in the collection or not. For example, a set cannot consist of elements like moral values, concepts, evils or virtues. Element of a set Each object in the ...
