A **binary operation** is a calculation that combines two elements (operands) from a set to produce another element of the same set. In formal mathematics, it is defined as a function \\( B: S \\times S \\to S \\), where \\( S \\) is a set and \\( S \\times S \\) denotes the Cartesian product of \\( S \\) with itself.
