What is a Set?

A set in mathematics is a collection of well defined and distinct objects, considered as an object in its own right. ... The most basic properties are that a set "has" elements, and that two sets are equal (one and the same) if and only if every element of one is an element of the other.

 Example: 1). A collection of songs in your playlist.

                   2). The collection of planets in our solar system
