What does the $\Rightarrow$ arrow mean when showing working out in maths?
How do we use it appropriately?
Best Answer
The $\Rightarrow$ notation means that if the function on the left hand side of the notation is true, then so is the function on the right hand side of the notation.
So consider $X\Rightarrow Y$. This means that if $X$ is true, then $Y$ is also true.
It can mean all sort of things, of course. Usually, it means some variation of surjective (like admissible surjection, or conflation or...) In the statement you quote, though, it simply means surjection.
