The length of the sequence concatenated two sequences












0












$begingroup$


Let $alpha$ be a finite sequence, and $|alpha|$ be the length of $alpha$.



Let $alpha_1, alpha_2$ be two finite sequences. Prove that $|alpha_1 alpha_2| = |alpha_1 |+|alpha_2|$. Where $alpha_1 alpha_2$ is just the concatenation of the sequences $alpha_1$ and $alpha_2$.



This looks very obvious. But I do not know what to do if I want to deal with it more precisely.

    Do you mean sequence or set?

    @TheD0ubleT $alpha, alpha_1, alpha_2$ are all sequences.

    If you want to do this very formally, then we should start by asking what is your formal definition of sequence and concatenation. Then I suspect that your definition of concatenation will already contain the answer.
