Abstract. In this paper we unify and extend many of the known results on the dimensions of deterministic and random Cantor-like sets in $\BbbR^n$ using their symbolic representation. We also construct several new examples of such constructions that illustrate some new phenomena. These sets are defined by geometric constructions with arbitrary placement of subsets. We consider Markov constructions, general symbolic constructions, nonstationary constructions, random constructions (determined by a very general distribution), and combinations of the above.
