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

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!
