Set

A set is a mathematical term used for a loose collection of objects, called elements. They are often represented by brackets enclosing their elements (e.g., {1,4,13.5}).

In contrast to permutations, the order of the elements in a set is not important, so that {1,4,13.5} is the same set as {13.5,1,4}. Also, the elements of a set are not allowed to repeat (as is the case for multisets), so that {1,2.5,1,0} does not represent a well-defined set.
