Definition of description: often used to represent an infinite set. The public * * * attribute of the elements in the collection is described by words, symbols or expressions and enclosed in braces. This method of representing a set is called description.

{x|P}(x is the general form of the elements of this set, and p is the * * * same property of the elements of this set) For example, a set composed of positive real numbers less than π is expressed as {x | 0.

Set, for short, is a basic concept in mathematics and the main research object of set theory. The basic theory of set theory was founded in19th century. The simplest statement about set is the definition in naive set theory (the most primitive set theory), that is, set is "a certain pile of things" and the "things" in set are called elements. A modern set is usually defined as a whole consisting of one or more definite elements.
