What does P(n) mean here

Power set f is a function that has the power set of the natural numbers as domain and natural numbers as codomain. The subsets of the natural numbers are the input. If you input a subset of the natural numbers, ie, a set containing finitely or infinitely many natural numbers only, then f returns the least natural number in the subset. Clearly , f is not one-one since you can have two sets, say, {1,2,3} and {1,2} both of which have least element as one. f is onto since there exists an infinite number of subsets of natural numbers such that a given natural number is the least element of the subset.
