Sets can be represented by two ways: Roster or tabular Form and Set
builder Form
3.
Roster form: All the elements of a set are listed separated by commas
and are enclosed within braces { }.Elements are not repeated
generally.

5.
A set does not change if one or more elements of the set are repeated.

7.
On the basis of number of elements sets are of two types: Finite and
Infinite Sets.

set
The difference of the sets A and B is the set of elements which belong
to A but not to B. Written as A-B and read as A minus B.
In set notations A-B = {x: xA, xB} and B A = {x: xB, xA}
