Set & Elements
Formally, we list out elements in a set using curly brackets known as braces { }.

Equality of Sets
Equality of Sets
2 sets (A and B) are considered equal if every element of A can be found in B and vice-versa.

Example
Example
{1, 2, 3} = {3, 2, 1}
{1, 2, 3} = {3, 2, 1}
{1, 2, 3} ≠ {0, 1, 2, 3}
{1, 2, 3} ≠ {0, 1, 2, 3}

Just like how +, − , ✕ and ÷ are the 4 basic operations in arithmetic, we have some basic operators in Set Theory too.
