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:
- A variable of type UInt16 can hold values in range [0-65536).
- Completion status (represented by a double value) can hold a value in range [0-100].
- Gender (represented by an Enum) can hold one of { Male, Female }.
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).
I’ve also heard “value space” as a term for this.
