A SET is a well-defined group of objects, or a collection of objects that have a common property.
Objects in a set are called members or elements of the set.
Sets can be defined either by description, or set notation with braces { } .
Eg:
By description, P is a set of consonants in the word "EXCELLENT".
By set notation with braces, P = { consonants in the word "EXCELLENT"} or
P = {x:x is a consonant in the word "EXCELLENT"} or
P = {X, C, L, N, T}
(Note the use of commas, and non-repetition of the same elements in the set, i.e. the letter "L")
