I am also wondering if the empty set isn't a missnaming?
For all i know {3}-{3}={} or it could be {3}-{3}=

All this leaves me with one question what is the set when there is no
values, and i must say it leaves me abit cofuseed, is there really an
empty set?

If so what is actually the set, i always thought the group initself
was the set.
And there is no member in the group, there is no group and no set, so
what is actually the empty set.
