 $\\mathcal{P}(A)$ represents the power set of A. 

\n

Note that you input sets in the form set(a,b,c,d) and the empty set is input as set().

", "advice": "

a) Using the  fact $P(\\left\\{\\right\\}) = 2^{\\left|\\left\\{\\right\\}\\right|} = 2^0 = 1$. So $P(\\left\\{\\right\\})$ is a one-element set which contains $\\left\\{\\right\\}$. There is only one possible answer

\n

$ \\left\\{\\left\\{\\right\\}\\right\\}$.

\n

b) Rcall that if $|A|$=n$, then $|\\mathcal{P}(A)|=2^n$.

\n
\n

c) We construct the answer gradually. Since $\\left|S\\right| = \\var{n}$
