Exercise · ZW-SET-MEMBERSHIP-005 · ★☆☆ Basic
Can a set contain the same element twice?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- A. No: repeating an element adds nothing, so \(\{1,1,2\} = \{1,2\}\)
Explanation
A set is determined by its elements, not by how many times they are listed, so repetition creates no new element.
