The empty set and the void type¶
The empty set in set theory corresponds to the Void
type in type theory or to false
in logic. There's also the 0-category in category theory.

- In type theory, the void type is a type with a cardinality of 0. It is therefore impossible to construct. It's dual is the unit type. It corresponds to the empty set from set theory.
