  2. Operand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operand

    In the above example, '+' is the symbol for the operation called addition. The operand '3' is one of the inputs (quantities) followed by the addition operator, and the operand '6' is the other input necessary for the operation. The result of the operation is 9. (The number '9' is also called the sum of the augend 3 and the addend 6.)

  3. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    The rank of an operation is called its precedence, and an operation with a higher precedence is performed before operations with lower precedence. Calculators generally perform operations with the same precedence from left to right, [ 1 ] but some programming languages and calculators adopt different conventions.

  4. Common operator notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_operator_notation

    Operands are objects upon which the operators operate. These include literal numbers and other constants as well as identifiers (names) which may represent anything from simple scalar variables to complex aggregated structures and objects, depending on the complexity and capability of the language at hand as well as usage context.

  5. Operation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_(mathematics)

    An operation can take zero or more input values (also called "operands" or "arguments") to a well-defined output value. The number of operands is the arity of the operation. The most commonly studied operations are binary operations (i.e., operations of arity 2), such as addition and multiplication , and unary operations (i.e., operations of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical...

    A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula.

  7. Operator (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operator_(computer...

    The semantics of operators particularly depends on value, evaluation strategy, and argument passing mode (such as Boolean short-circuiting). Simply, an expression involving an operator is evaluated in some way, and the resulting value may be just a value (an r-value), or may be an object allowing assignment (an l-value).

  8. Arity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arity

    In logic, mathematics, and computer science, arity (/ ˈ ær ɪ t i / ⓘ) is the number of arguments or operands taken by a function, operation or relation. In mathematics, arity may also be called rank, [1] [2] but this word can have many other meanings. In logic and philosophy, arity may also be called adicity and degree.

    Video: Keys pressed for calculating eight times six on a HP-32SII (employing RPN) from 1991. Reverse Polish notation (RPN), also known as reverse Łukasiewicz notation, Polish postfix notation or simply postfix notation, is a mathematical notation in which operators follow their operands, in contrast to prefix or Polish notation (PN), in which operators precede their operands.
