Is there a term to represent a set of all possible values a variable can assume?
Analogy:
In mathematics a domain of a function is a set of values a function is defined on (function can take as an argument).
Examples:
Q:
What is a term to describe all possible values a variable can (contextually) assume?
Basically need a short version of "set of values for a variable". I have seen term type being used to describe such a range, but Type often encompasses other bits of information (e.g. a name, operations, module).
The set of all possible values of the independent variables (x) in a function is called domain. The set of all possible values of the idependent variables (y) in a function. A graph of a function can be used to find its domain.
A variable is a symbolic name for (or reference to) information. The variable's name represents what information the variable contains. They are called variables because the represented information can change but the operations on the variable remain the same.
I've also heard "value space" as a term for this.
