Injective Function

A function is injective (“one-to-one”) if

xxf(x)f(x)x \neq x^{\prime} \Longrightarrow f(x) \neq f(x^{\prime})

i.e. Given a set XX and a set YY, no two elements (say, xx and xx^{\prime}) from XX map to the same element in YY.

(Note: a function can be both injective and surjective, this image is injective only)
