function range
[ˈfʌŋkʃən reɪndʒ]
nounpl: function ranges
intervalo de função / alcance de função
1. In mathematics, the set of all possible output values that a function can produce
The function range of f(x) = x² is all non-negative real numbers.
O intervalo de função de f(x) = x² é todos os números reais não-negativos.
2. In programming and computer science, the scope or extent of values that a function is designed to operate with or return
The function range for this algorithm is limited to integers between 0 and 1000.
O alcance de função para este algoritmo é limitado a inteiros entre 0 e 1000.
3. The operational limits or boundaries within which a function performs effectively
Operating outside the function range may result in unpredictable behavior.
Operar fora do alcance de função pode resultar em comportamento imprevisível.
This is primarily a technical/academic term used in mathematics, engineering, and computer science. In Brazil, both 'intervalo de função' and 'alcance de função' are acceptable, though 'intervalo' is more commonly used in pure mathematics while 'alcance' appears more frequently in applied fields and programming contexts. The term reflects the international nature of technical vocabulary across English and Portuguese-speaking countries.
