1. inject

   In a general context, the term "inject" means to introduce a substance into something else, often using a syringe or similar tool. This could refer to introducing a medicine into a patient's body, a chemical into a scientific experiment, or data into a computer program. In mathematics, "inject" is also used to describe a particular type of function known as an injection or an injective function. This is a function that assigns a unique output value to each input value, meaning no two different inputs will result in the same output.
