Sets in Lean, example sheet 2 : the empty set and the "universal set". #
We know what the empty subset of X
is, and the Lean notation for
it is ∅
, or, if you want to say which type we're the empty subset
of, it's ∅ : set X
.
At the other extreme, the subset of X
containing all the terms of type X
is...well...mathematicians would just call it X
, but X
is a type, and
so if we want a set it's called set.univ : set X
, or just univ : set X
if
we have opened the set
namespace. Let's do that now.
