Was hoping the mathematicians one the dope could explain the difference between the following set operators to me.
∈ versus ⊂; aka “Member of” vs. “Subset of”
What’s the difference between these two concepts? As far as I can tell, if A = {a, b} and B = {a, b, c}, then A ∈ B and A ⊂ B are both true.
What’s the difference?
As a follow on question.
If you want to create a formula where A is {a, b, c, d, g, i} and B = {c} it’s evaluated as true when A is selected (left side) and B is the comparison (right side) is there a better way to do this than just reversing the set operator symbols? Also what happens when A is {a, b, c, d, g, i} and B = {c, h}? Is there a operator for that to be true?
And if you were to do all these things using plain English instead of the special characters what would be language be to be mathematically/programmatic accurate?
