But, frankly, I am kind of new to these types of data structures and don't know how to use the documentation(still learning stage), like the link you sent. I need a small example on how to implement using the documentation, e.g for the superset or subset. Then I'll be able to complete the remaining methods. :/

     You *still* haven't described what you're trying to do!  What
do you mean by "the superset," for example?  You probably don't
want to enumerate all supersets of a given set, which would require
infinite time.  If you're trying to test whether set S1 is a superset
of set S2, just find their intersection and compare its size to S2's.

     Also, you *still* haven't explained what kind of difficulty you
are having!  The documentation for the Set interface and for the
MathSet class seem clear enough; what can I add to what they've
already told you?

     (Surmise: Kai, do you know how to write Java?  If you're just
starting to learn the language, a "small example" isn't going to
be a whole lot of help ...)
