                     - statement xA means that x is an element of the set A.
                     - symbol ∉ means " not an element of "......
                     the statement  xA means that x is not element of set A.
   example:-    
                  A {,,♣,♠}, then ♡∈A but △∉A (where the symbol  means “not an element of”).



Empty set (null set)

                        - symbol {} or ø..

   example:-
            A = {2, 6, 8} and B = {3, 5, 7}
            Let C represent the intersection of the sets A and B.
            C = {}, a null set, because there is no element common between the two sets.
