Topic: Functions on sets


Yakov Pechersky (Jul 13 2020 at 17:03):

What do the '' mean in a function that is applied to a set, a la f '' s := {f x | x \in s}?

Jalex Stark (Jul 13 2020 at 17:05):

didn't you just write out the definition of ''? (edit : no, see patrick's comment)

Alex J. Best (Jul 13 2020 at 17:05):

'' is set.image

Patrick Massot (Jul 13 2020 at 17:06):

What Yakov wrote is not valid syntax

Patrick Massot (Jul 13 2020 at 17:06):

Set builder notation simply doesn't work like that

Jalex Stark (Jul 13 2020 at 17:06):

#print notation ''

which tells you that '' is infix notation for set.image

Yakov Pechersky (Jul 13 2020 at 17:07):

Yes, I was using illegal shorthand. It's notation, got it!
