Set Theoretic Operations

Concept: Intersection

The intersection of two sets A and B forms a new set, denoted
A B, which contains all the elements which are members of both A and B.

Graphic Representation

The area shaded in orange represents
A B.


Example

If A = {1,2,3,4} and B = {3,4,5,6}, then A B = {3,4}

Note: The intersection operation can be performed on more than just two sets. The area shaded in orange represents A B C.
