Bob, I had a look at the links. Helpful. Thanks.
And thanks for the welcome. Great forum.
Ok.
Top answer, thanks.
I'll check out the 'good variable naming' tip.
For myself. I'm a self taught software dev enthusiast. I'm not a student of any kind except self ed.
Thanks for your answer.
That really surprises me you know. You've got numerator, denom, quotient etc but no common name for the 2 values to share. Wow.
I'll have to name it something like lowestValue, a bit general, or lowerValueOfNumeratorDenominator, too long. That's a bit ruff. Or i'll have to make a name up but no one will know what it means.
minimum is too general. Any ideas?
This is my 1st post. Looks like a great forum. My Math level is a rusty High School grad level.
Hi bobbym
Thanks for your quick reply.
I'm using the variable to store the lowest numerical value of a and b.
If, let a = 1 and b = 2. Then lowestValue = 1
So I'm looking for a noun, 'the math name', that describes both a and b. i.e. lowestMathName
Hi
For the purpose of naming a variable in a computer program, what is the correct word that describes both parts of a fraction?
e.g. a/b
a = numerator
b = denominator
a & b = ?
