Make my number a set
Natural to set
(set meaning an unordered collection with no duplicates, though answers may use and output lists instead)
Recently I was brainstorming what a language with only (arbitrarily nested) sets would be like. A number is represented with a set of that many elements. The elements need to be different, which leads to this definition:
Definition
- The set representation of $0$ is the empty set.
- The set representation of any other integer $n$ is the set of the set representations of all positive integers less than $n$, including zero.
- Negative, complex, or rational numbers do not need to be handled.
- Your full program or function is to convert from a positive integer to a set or list.
Examples
0 {}
1 {{}}
2 {{}, {{}}}
3 {{}, {{}}, {{}, {{}}}}
