Why is ${f,|,fcolon Atomathbb N}$ not uncountable?












0












$begingroup$


Let $S={,f,|,fcolon Atomathbb N}$, where $A={1,2}$.



I thought cardinality of $S$ is $2^{|mathbb N|}=aleph_0$. But my friend told that my answer was wrong.



Please help me where is I am wrong.

    Because for any function to defined every point has 2 choices so there are 2^|N|.I thought

    You could just list down all the functions in your set and see what the answer is.

$begingroup$

The cardinality of the set of functions from a set $A$ to a set $B$ is $|B|^{|A|}$.



In particular in your case the size of $S$ is $|mathbb{N}|^2$ (not $2^{|mathbb{N}|}$) which is the size of $mathbb{N}timesmathbb{N}$ (hence countable).
