Proving sets of functions have same cardinality
$begingroup$
Prove that $$card(A^{B times C})=card(A^{B^C})$$
where $A^B$ is a set of all functions from $B$ to $A$ and $A times B$ is cartesian product of sets.
Is the bijection supposed to be sending $f$ to $g$, where $g$ is sending $h$ to $t$, or something like that ?
Can't work it out.

Note that with $A^{(B^C)}$, the claim is false - we want ${(A^B)}^C$ (which we recall to indeed equal $A^{BC}$ in the realm of natural numbers).
Given $fcolon Btimes Cto A$, we want to find $gcolon Cto A^B$, i.e., $g$ should, for each $cin C$, produce a map $g(c)colon Bto A$. The choice $g(c)(b)=f(b,c)$ suggests itself.
This correspondence invertible, i.e., given $gin {(A^B)}^C$, we can define $fcolon Btimes Cto A$ by letting $f(b,c)=g(c)(b)$.

Thanks! Altough, had me there confused with notation $g(c)$ for a second.
