👉 In mathematics, a partition is a set of subsets that can be used to divide an object into several non-overlapping parts. This concept is particularly useful in combinatorics and graph theory, where it helps to describe the number of ways one can arrange a collection of objects under certain conditions.
For example, consider the following two partitions of a set:
Partition A: {1,2,3} with the subsets being {1}, {2}, {3}.
Partition B
