Partitions of a set

A partition of a set is a way of dividing it into smaller, non-overlapping groups called subsets, where every element of the original set belongs to exactly one subset. Essentially, the entire set is broken down into distinct parts that together cover all elements without any overlap or gaps. Think of it like organizing a collection of items into separate boxes so that each item is in one box only, and all items are accounted for. This concept helps in systematically analyzing or categorizing elements within a larger set.
