👉 In mathematics, an ordered set is a collection of distinct elements in a specific order. This ordering is typically denoted by writing the elements from smallest to largest or vice versa, and it is fundamental in many areas such as geometry, algebra, and number theory. For example, consider the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}. In this set, the ordered pair (1, 2) is considered less than the ordered pair (2, 1),
