Hi there!

Mapping : a mathematical relation such that each element of a given set (the domain of the function) is associated with an element of another set (the range of the function)
Function : A function is a process or a relation that associates each element x of a set X, the domain of the function, to a single element y of another set Y (possibly the same set), the codomain of the function. It is customarily denoted by letters such as , and. Example: f(x) = x/2 ("f of x equals x divided by 2") It is a function because each input "x" has a single output "x/2": • f(2) = 1.
Hope this helped you!
