What are the number of subsets of the set A = {a, b, c, d, e, f}?

And of set B = {a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j}?

What are the number of subsets of the set A = {a, b, c, d, e, f}?
The number of subsets of any set of n elements (members) is two to the power of n (which I will write as 2^n).





These links give two different explanations of this:

Your set A has 6 elements. So it has 2^6 = 64 subsets.


Your set B has 10 elements. So it has 2^10 = 1024 subsets.
Reply:2^10 the answer is 1024 subsets
