[1Y6] Given two sets \(A,B\), a function \(f:Aβ B\) is a triple
\[ A,B,F \]
(where \(A\) is said domain and \(B\) codomain) and \(F\) is a relation \(Fβ AΓ B\) such that
\[ β xβ A β!yβ B , xFy\quad ; \]
i.e. it enjoys the properties of being functional and total (defined in [23X]).
Being the element \(y\) unique, we can write \(y=f(x)\) to say that \(y\) is the only element in relation \(xFy\) with \(x\).
