exponential object

exponential object
Given objects Y and Z, the exponential object is uniquely defined by the following universal property: for any object X with arrow , there can always be constructed an arrow which induces an arrow ,   which is unique in satisfying where .

In the Sets category, given sets A and B with then if , , ..., , then the product of A and B is and the exponential is .
