In Mathematics, the cardinality of a set is the number of elements it contains.

So the cardinality of {3, 7, 11, 15, 99} is 5.

The cardinality of {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12} is 6.

That is all very well for finite sets. But many common sets are infinite: integers, rationals, reals.

The cardinality of all of these sets is infinity, but they are of two "levels" of infinity. Integers and rationals, for example have a cardinality of Aleph-null whereas irrationals and reals have a cardinality of aleph-one. It has been shown that there are no sets of cardinality between Aleph-null and Aleph-one.

What is the cardinal number of a set?

The cardinal number of a set is the number of elements in the set. Example: the cardinal number of the set {6, prune, 675, biscuit, London} is 5, since the set contains five elements. If a set contains repeated elements, they should only be counted once. Example: the cardinal number of the set {6, 7, 3, 4, 4, 7} is 4 (not 6) since the fours and sevens are only counted once.

Determine the cardinal number of the set {x | x is a letter of the alphabet}?

I feel like a better explanation is that the answer is 26. I assumed that you were asking for {x|x, as long as x is a letter of the alphabet}. The cardinal number is basically just the number of terms in the set (it has to be distinct).
