# Lists - Ordered - Denoted by (a1, a2, … an) or {a1, a2, …an} # Strings and Queues ## Strings - Ordered list - (1,2,3,4) or {1,2,3,4} ## Queue - Special list, where elements are removed from the bottom, and added to the top. # Sets, Elements - Any collection of objects is a set - Objects contained in a set are elements, or members - Set defined with braces. - Conventional to use singular capital letters for names of sets. - Commonly denoted a `a ∈ S`, where `a` is an element of the set `S`. - Elements that are not contained are denoted as `d ∉ S`, where `d` is not an element of the set `S`. ## #Cardinality - Cardinality of a set is the number of elements contained in the set. - For example, let S = {a,b,c}, the cardinality of S is 3. - These facts are denoted symbolically - n(S) = 3. ## Set Equality - Two sets are equal if they contain exactly the same elements. ## #Subsets - Suppose V is a set, and W is a set formed using only elements of V. - W would be a **subset** of V - Denoted as `W ⊆ V`, where W is the subset of V - Every set is a subset of itself. - {Moe, Larry} $\subseteq$ {Moe, Larry} - The empty set is a subset of every set . - {} $\subseteq$ {Moe, Larry} ### Example Let T = {Moe, Larry, Curly} List all subsets of T. {Moe} {Larry} {Curly} {Moe, Larry} {Moe, Curly} {Larry, Curly} {Moe, Larry, Curly} {} <- Empty Set ## True or False 1. {b, h, r, q} $\subseteq$ {h, r} - True 2. {a, 13, d, 2} $\subseteq$ {13, 2, d, a} - True
