If number of elements in set is 0, it is an empty set.
It is also called null set or void set.
Example:
A = {x: x is a natural number less than 1}
Since, natural number = 1, 2, 3, 4, …
There is no natural number less than 1
Hence,
A = {}
or A is an empty set.
We can also write
A = ∅
B = {x: x 2 = 4, x is an odd number}
x 2 = 4
x = ± √4
x = ± 2
So, x = -2, 2
Since, x is even, it means set B is empty
B = {} = ∅
