The notation means all functions from the real numbers to themselves, with no continuity restriction. Its cardinal is
The exponent law follows by viewing a function to a function set as one function on a Cartesian product. Cantor's theorem gives , so this is strictly larger than the other continuum-sized examples here. Characteristic functions of subsets of already supply the lower bound .
