Difference between Set and Subset

The key difference between a set and a subset is that a set is a collection of distinct elements, while a subset is a subset of a larger set and contains elements that are also present in the larger set

Set Vs Subset

Set	Subset
A collection of distinct elements.	A subset is a subset of a larger set.
Can contain any number of elements.	Contains elements that are also present in the larger set.
Examples: {1, 2, 3}, {a, b, c, d}, {red, blue, green}.	Examples: {1, 2} is a subset of {1, 2, 3}, {red, green} is a subset of {red, blue, green}.

Difference between Set and Subset

Set:

• A collection of distinct elements.
• Can contain any number of elements.
• Examples: {1, 2, 3}, {a, b, c, d}, {red, blue, green}.

Subset:

• A subset is a subset of a larger set.
• Contains elements that are also present in the larger set.
• Can have fewer or the same number of elements as the larger set.
• Examples: {1, 2} is a subset of {1, 2, 3}, {red, green} is a subset of {red, blue, green}.
