Let 
and 
be any sets and let 
be any function between them, so that is the domain of 
and is the codomain. Then 
is called the range or image of .
Thus, if we have 
given by 
, the range of is the set of nonnegative real numbers.
A function is a surjection exactly when the range is equal to the codomain.
