Answers to Questions (FAQ)

What is a cartesian product? (Definition)

A Cartesian product is a combination of elements from several sets. The product is written with the symbol ×. It is the totality of the possible combinations among the sets of elements.

How to generate the list of combinations of a cartesian product?

Enter the sets (1 per line) in the generator table and click on generate.

Example: Generation of all playing card figures (jack, queen, king) of each color (spade, heart, diamond, club)
The first set consists of the 3 figures {J,Q,K}, the second set of the 4 colors {,,,}.
The Cartesian product is:

J

How to calculate the cardinality of the cartesian product?

The cardinality (total number of combinations) is equal to the multiplication of the cardinality of each set.

Example: A garment with 3 color choices and 5 sizes will have $ 3 \times 5 = 15 $ different possibilities

Example: A padlock with 4 wheels that can define a 4-letter code (26 possible letters for each wheel) will have a cardinality of $ 26 \times 26 \times 26 \times 26 = 456976 $ possible words.
