    What is the cardinality of this statement { x|x is a string over {a, b, c} and |x| <= 2}

    The set described is { a, b, c, aa, ab ,ac, ba, bb, bc, ca, cb, cc} over |x| <= 2

    and this set has cardinality 13 because there are 13 things in it

    Wow! I didn't know that you can do sets. Impressed. You know set theory? This is something for me to explore in the future after calculus 3.

    There is a course called Set Theory, which is not the same as high school sets.

    of course college set theory is more complex (nowadays considered as a foundation of all other branches of math , and the mathematical science of the infinite), and not same as high school

    It's an interesting course but not so easy to grasp.

    Thanks for the link. However, I want to study one course at a time. Note: suste88 didn't thank you for your effort and reply here. This is what I'm talking about. Boring site. You know what, I will post some questions for you. Maybe you are bored? Let me look for some questions that I don't know how to solve in the David Cohen precalculus textbook. Look for 3 or 4 questions in about 15 minutes.

    The basics of set theory is part of precalculus not the entire set theory course. Set theory is very intense at the college level. I can solve some basic set theory problems but this does not mean that I know the actual set theory course.

    By the way, it is the set that has cardinality 13, not the statement!
