Answer

A set is a well defined collection of objects. Types of sets are; empty sets [ set with no elements] finite sets [ set with limited number of elements. infinite sets [ set with unlimited number of elements] equal sets [ sets of same elements with same number also] equivalent sets [ sets that have same number of elements but different elements] universal sets [ set that contains all members in both sets] subsets [ set part of another big set of related elements] proper subsets [ subset of a set that is not equal to the set.] power sets [ set of all subsets of one set] Even sets [ set of members in both sets.]
