Cardinal assignment refers to the method of assigning numerical values, specifically cardinal numbers, to represent the size or quantity of a set. In mathematics, especially in set theory, cardinal numbers quantify the number of elements in a set, indicating how many items are present. For example, the cardinal assignment of a finite set containing the elements \{a, b, c\} is 3, because there are three elements in the set.
