What is a subset?  What does that mean?

i have no clue! @Mertsj

mertsj · Answer

Let's say that we have a set such as:  {2,3,4,5}
A subset of that set must contain only numbers that are in the set.  So these are some of the subsets of that set:  {2,3,}  or {3,4,5} of 2,3,4,5} of {2}.  There are others as well.

mertsj · Answer

These are NOT subsets:  {2,3,4,5,6}  or {7,8} or {2,9} or {5,*}
