    1. the new set that contains every element from either of A and B
  3. ~A (Not A)
    1. the new set gets everything that is in the universe but is outside of A
  4. A – B (A minus B)
    1. if it's in A and not in B, then it goes into the new set
  5. ~(A U B) (Not A and B)
    1. the new set gets everything that is outside A and B
  6. ~(A n B) (Not A overlap B)
    1. the new set contains everything outside of the overlap of A and B
