## Cardinality of complement of uncountable subset of uncountable set. [closed]

We have a set S which is uncountably infinite. U is a subset of S and it is uncountably infinite.

What is the cardinality of the complement of U with respect to S?

MO is the wrong place for this. Perhaps a homework problem? So, read the FAQ here (see the link at the top?) before posting... – Gerald Edgar Apr 18 2010 at 13:04

Take $S=\mathbb{R}$. If you take $U$ to be $\mathbb{R} \setminus { 1 }$. Then the complement of $U$ in $S$ has cardinality 1. If you take $U=\mathbb{R} \setminus \mathbb{Q}$ then the complement is countably infinite. If you take $U$ to be the set of numbers which are positive, then the complement is uncountably infinite.
