Re: how to describe the range of this kind of property

l,

There are 2 ways to say that there are 3 students in the course.

A) Count the number of elements in the collection. Note that a collection is 
closed, i.e. no more elements can be added.

B) Add a property like "studentCount" to describe that there are 3 students.
