The syntax of JavaScript is the set of rules that define a correctly structured JavaScript program. The examples below make use of the log function of the console object present in most browsers for standard text output. The JavaScript standard library lacks an official standard text output function (with the exception of document.write).
As noted, what the axiom is saying is that, given two objects A and B, we can find a set C whose members are exactly A and B. We can use the axiom of extensionality to show that this set C is unique. We call the set C the pair of A and B, and denote it {A,B}. Thus the essence of the axiom is: Any two objects have a pair.
For instance, in our example the number 2 is paired with the subset {1, 2, 3}, which contains 2 as a member. Let us call such numbers selfish. Other natural numbers are paired with subsets that do not contain them. For instance, in our example the number 1 is paired with the subset {4, 5}, which does not contain the number 1.
Suppose that one wants to define what it means for two sets to "have the same number of elements". One way to do this is to say that two sets "have the same number of elements", if and only if all the elements of one set can be paired with the elements of the other, in such a way that each element is paired with exactly one element.
A matching is a bijection from the elements of one set to the elements of the other set. A matching is not stable if: There is an element A of the first matched set which prefers some given element B of the second matched set over the element to which A is already matched, and

More generally, a pairing function on a set is a function that maps each pair of elements from into an element of , such that any two pairs of elements of are associated with different elements of , [5] [a] or a bijection from to .
