What input format do the sets accept?

Comma-separated values. Each item is trimmed of leading and trailing spaces. Duplicate values within a single set are ignored (sets contain unique elements by definition).

Are comparisons case-sensitive?

Yes. "Apple" and "apple" are treated as different elements. Convert your values to the same case before entering them if you want case-insensitive matching.

What is the difference between A − B and B − A?

A − B (also written A \ B) contains elements that are in Set A but not in Set B. B − A is the reverse — elements in Set B but not in Set A. These are called set differences or relative complements.

Can I enter numbers and text in the same set?

Yes. All values are treated as plain text strings, so you can mix numbers, words, or any other characters freely.

Is there a limit on how many elements I can enter?

There is no hard limit, but for readability the results list wraps into a scrollable area if it grows large. The Venn diagram shows region counts regardless of list size.

Summary

Enter two sets of comma-separated values to calculate union, intersection, and difference — with a visual Venn diagram.

How it works

Enter the elements of Set A as comma-separated values (e.g., 1, 2, 3, apple).
Enter the elements of Set B in the same way.
Click "Calculate" or type and the results update immediately.
The tool parses each input, trims whitespace, and removes duplicate values within each set.
Union (A ∪ B), intersection (A ∩ B), and both differences (A − B and B − A) are computed and displayed.
A canvas-drawn Venn diagram shades each region to match the results.
