2.1.15  Conditional operator
Syntax	cif 3549	Extend class notation to include the conditional operator. See df-if 3550 for a description. (In older databases this was denoted "ded".)
class if ( ph , A , B )
Definition	df-if 3550*	Define the conditional operator. Read if ( ph , A , B ) as "if ph then A else B". See iftrue 3554 and iffalse 3557 for its values. In mathematical literature, this operator is rarely defined formally but is implicit in informal definitions such as "let f(x)=0 if x=0 and 1/x otherwise." In the absence of excluded middle, this will tend to be useful where ph is decidable (in the sense of df-dc 836). (Contributed by NM, 15-May-1999.)

Definition	df-pw 3592*	Define power class. Definition 5.10 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 17, but we also let it apply to proper classes, i.e. those that are not members of _V. When applied to a set, this produces its power set. A power set of S is the set of all subsets of S, including the empty set and S itself. For example, if A is { 3 , 5 , 7 }, then ~P A is { (/) , { 3 } , { 5 } , { 7 } , { 3 , 5 } , { 3 , 7 } , { 5 , 7 } , { 3 , 5 , 7 } }. We will later introduce the Axiom of Power Sets. Still later we will prove that the size of the power set of a finite set is 2 raised to the power of the size of the set. (Contributed by NM, 5-Aug-1993.)
