Feel free to let me know if this is better suited for:
That said, I'm wondering if there's a math term for the nature of "sum", "difference", "product", and "quotient".
Now these are obviously the results of specific operations (i.e. sum can only be produced by an addition operation), however is there a math term more appropriate than how I just used "results"?
Another way to put it, say I were building an array of these terms, what would the variable name be?
const someMathTerm = ['SUM', 'DIFF, 'PROD', 'QUOT'];1 Answer
$\begingroup$How about binaryOperationResult?
Addition, subtraction, etc., are all binary operations: A -OPERATION- B.
Then you can add ROOT, RMDR, ...
(I sense that you want something more meaningful than value, result, etc., as those tend to be overused and six months later you're asking yourself as you read your code, "What kind of value? Result of what?")
