terminology - Term to represent all possible values of a variable -
Is there a word to represent a set of possible values that can be considered a variable?
Analogy: A function of a function in mathematics is a set of values on which a function is defined (the function can take as an argument).
Example:
- A variable type UInt16 can hold values in [0-65536]
- Completion status (represented by a double value) can hold a value in [0-100] range.
- Gender (represented by an NM) is one (male, female).
Q: By default, what is a word for a variable (contextually) to describe all the possible values?
A small version of "set of values for a variable" is required; I have seen the word type used to describe such a category, but type often Includes other bits of information (such as names, operations, modules).
I also heard "value space" as a word for it.
