For a map F from a class A to a class B and a in A, the value F(a) is a set, (a, F(a)) lies in F, and F(a) lies in B; in particular the distance d(x, y) of two points of a metric space is a real number.
In the setting of The Real Numbers, with the Natural Numbers, Integers and Rationals Identified with Subsets of the Reals, and Completeness, let and be arbitrary classes introduced in this item, not necessarily sets, let be a class that is a map in the sense of that definition, which applies to classes, and let ; is the value of at , which is defined because . Unlike Values, Restriction and Equality of a Map, and the Map as a Defined Set Symbol (ii), no hypothesis that or is a set is made.

Let be a metric space, so that, by Metric Space, is a set and is a map from the Cartesian product to the real numbers, and let . Then , with as in Sets and Maps: Ordinary Notation (v).
