Question 951976: List all the subset of P={a,w,{k}}

subsets of P:

	{ }
	--------
	{a}
	{w}
	{{k}}
	--------
	{a, w}
	{a, {k}}
	{w, {k}}
	--------
	{a,w,{k}}

{ } is the empty set.

There are 8 subsets. It is not coincidental that 2^3 = 8 and there are 3 terms in set P. Be careful about how you deal with the {k}. It is not simply the element k. It is a set within a set.
