**Exercise 23:**

**For any sets \( A \) and \( B \), the set of all functions from \( A \) to \( B \) is denoted \( B^A \).**

**(a)** Prove that if \( A \sim B \) and \( C \sim D \) then \( C^A \sim D^B \).

**(b)** Prove that if \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \) are sets and \( A \cap B = \varnothing \), then \( C^{A \cup B} \sim C^A \times C^B \).

**(c)** Prove that if \( A \) and \( B \) are finite sets, then \( B^A \) is finite and \(|B^A| = |B|^{|A|}\). (Hint: Use induction on \(|A|\).)

**(d)** A professor has 20 students in his class, and he has to assign a grade of either A, B, C, D, or F to each student. In how many ways can the grades be assigned?
