First one of the quizzes I've missed (even though I use strings quite a lot). That was at least my second choice.
My (faulty) reasoning was that the category "empty set" might not be empty.
@goc3 has left me with an empty feeling inside on this one.
I admit, I had to actually double-check that. I never use strings, but I kind of expected the attack to come from my blind spot.
My thought process was similar, although I also never use categorical.
Think of it like this -
What is the size of "12345"
What about "1234"
Now "123"
Then "12"
and "1"
Finally ""
The way I thought about it was more like
What is the size of ["A" "B"]?
What about ["A" ""]?
... which really isn't all that different. Just reinforcing the notion of what a scalar string looks like.
