Context #1 | Adjective

mathematics, programming

The term 'nary' is used to describe something that is a variable or unspecified number, particularly in fields such as mathematics and computer science. It is often seen in relation to operations or functions that can take multiple operands. For example, a 'nary operation' can involve two or more inputs and isn't limited in the number of arguments it accepts. This allows for a more flexible approach to handling data and operations within programming and algorithms.

Synonyms

flexible, multi-operand, variable.

Examples of usage

  • An n-ary tree can have any number of children.
  • The function is defined as an n-ary operation.
  • Using n-ary relations can simplify complex queries.
