document.write( "The set contains 7 elements (Mon-Fri, Sat and Sun).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Every finite set containing \"n\" elements, has  N =  subsets, including the empty set and improper set.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "In your case, n= 7  and  N =  = 128 subsets, including the empty set and improper set.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.   = 128 subsets, in all;  and 128-1 = 127 proper subsets.\r\n" );
