  1. Ask your question and show the work you've done so far. If you've posted a screenshot of a question, specify which part you need help with.
  2. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  3. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:
    +close
  4. Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
  5. Do not ping the mods, unless someone is breaking the rules. If there is a conflict amongst multiple helpers feel free to ping “Helper Mod”
  6. If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

Set builder notation?

#

you can think of it as some sort of generator

#

in the sense that you check all the x that fulfill the condition P(x) (e.g. x is in A)

#

and for each of them, you compute f(x), then group all of them into a set

#

so that is {f(x) : x in A}

None, they're synonymous

at least to the best of my knowledge
