Arity: Science, Examples & Terminology

In logic, mathematics, and computer science, arity (/ˈærɪti/ ⓘ) is the number of arguments or operands taken by a function, operation or relation. In mathematics, arity may also be called rank, but this word can have many other meanings. In logic and philosophy, arity may also be called adicity and degree. In linguistics, it is usually named valency.
