Overview
Sets can contain the same element only once. This means \{1, 1\} = \{1\}
. A bag (or multiset) can include a single element multiple times.
%%ANKI Basic What is a bag? Back: A set in which we are allowed to include a single element multiple times. Reference: “Multiset,” in Wikipedia, April 4, 2024, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Multiset&oldid=1217165725.
END%%
%%ANKI Basic What alternative term do "bags" go by? Back: Multisets. Reference: “Multiset,” in Wikipedia, April 4, 2024, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Multiset&oldid=1217165725.
END%%
%%ANKI Cloze The {multiplicity} of an element in a bag is the {number of instances given for that element}. Reference: “Multiset,” in Wikipedia, April 4, 2024, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Multiset&oldid=1217165725.

%%ANKI Basic How is the cardinality of a bag calculated? Back: By summing the multiplicities of each member. Reference: “Multiset,” in Wikipedia, April 4, 2024, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Multiset&oldid=1217165725.

Under what condition is a bag also a set?
Back: When the multiplicity of each element in the bag is 1
