Set cardinality calculator

Count the distinct elements of a supported finite set.

How to use this calculator

Edit Count({1,2,3}). A set discards duplicates before counting.

Tap the math below to edit it and see the result. Once a result is ready, press Tab on a hardware keyboard to accept it. Outside a matrix, Return completes the line; the phone math keyboard has the same Return action.

Try it here

Count⁡({1,2,3})\operatorname{Count}\left(\{1,2,3\}\right)

Interactive tools require JavaScript. You can read the guide and example without it.

What to know

Infinite and undecidable set sizes need not have a finite numerical answer.

Mathlean combines visual mathematical input with computation and canvas tools. Results depend on the expression and available engine support; check important answers independently.
