What is disjoint?

Disjoint sets are sets that have no elements in common. For example, the sets {1, 2, 3} and {4, 5, 6} are disjoint.

In mathematics, disjoint sets are often used to describe collections of objects that are completely separate from each other. For example, in graph theory, disjoint sets are used to describe the different connected components of a graph.

Disjoint sets can also be used to describe the different parts of a data structure. For example, in a linked list, the different nodes of the list are disjoint sets.

The term "disjoint" can also be used to describe other types of objects that are not sets. For example, two lines or curves are disjoint if they do not intersect at any point.
