Types of Functions
One to One Function
A function is said to be one to one function when f: A → B is One to One if for each element of A there is a distinct element of B.
Many to One Function
A function which maps two or more elements of A to the same element of set B is said to be many to one function. Two or more elements of A have the same image in B.
Onto Function
If there exists a function for which every element of set B there is (are) pre-image(s) in set A, it is Onto Function.
One – One and Onto Function
A function, f is One – One and Onto or Bijective if the function f is both One to One and Onto function.
