1. arity

   Arity refers to the number of arguments or operands that a function or operation takes. For example, in programming, a method or function might require two arguments, thus it is said to have an arity of two. Arity is also used in mathematics and logic to define the number or type of arguments that a function or operation accepts.

1. Arity

   In logic, mathematics, and computer science, the arity of a function or operation is the number of arguments or operands the function or operation accepts. The arity of a relation is the dimension of the domain in the corresponding Cartesian product. The term springs from words like unary, binary, ternary, etc. Unary functions or predicates may be also called "monadic"; similarly, binary functions may be called "dyadic". In mathematics, depending on the branch, arity may be named type or rank. In logic and philosophy, arity is also called adicity and degree. In linguistics, arity is usually named valency. In computer programming, there is often a syntactical distinction between operators and functions; syntactical operators usually have arity 0, 1, or 2. Functions vary widely in the number of arguments, though large numbers can become unwieldy. Some programming languages also offer support for variadic functions, i.e. functions syntactically accepting a variable number of arguments.
