UNION SETS
- The union of two sets is a set containing all elements that are in A or in B
(possibly both).

EXAMPLE:
If X = { 1,2,3} and Y = { 2, 3, 4}, then X ∪ Y = { 1,2,3,4})

INTERSECTION OF SETS
- As defined above, the intersection of two sets A and B is the set of all those
elements which are common to both A and B. Symbolically, we can represent the
intersection of A and B as A ∩ B.

EXAMPLE:
A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} , B = {2, 4, 7, 12, 14}
A ∩ B = {2, 4, 7}.

COMPLEMENT OF SETS
- The complement of set A is defined as a set that contains the elements present in
the universal set but not in set A.

EXAMPLE:
Set U = {2,4,6,8,10,12} and set A = {4,6,8}
then the complement of set A, A′ = {2,10,12}.

DIFFERENCE OF SETS
- the lists of all the elements that are in set A but that are not present in set B.

EXAMPLE:
If A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} and B = {3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}, then find A – B and B – A
A – B = {1, 2} since the elements 1, 2 are there in A but not in B.
Similarly, B – A = {7, 8}, since the elements 7 and 8 belong to B and not to A
