Set-builder notation

The set of all even integers,
expressed in set-builder notation.

In set theory and its applications to logic, mathematics, and computer science, set-builder notation is a mathematical notation for describing a set by enumerating its elements, or stating the properties that its members must satisfy.[1]

Defining sets by properties is also known as set comprehension, set abstraction or as defining a set's intension.
