Let A be a partially ordered set, called “the alphabet.” Let W be the set of all “words” of length two—that is, all permutations of two letters of the alphabet. Define the relation ≤ on W as follows: for x1x2W and y1y2W, (i) x1 < y1 = y1 or (ii) x1 = y1 and x2y2.Prove that ≤ is a partial ordering for W (called the lexicographic ordering, as in a dictionary).
