orderless function
[/ˈɔːrdərləs ˈfʌŋkʃən/]
nounpl: orderless functions
função sem ordem
1. A mathematical or computational function whose output does not depend on the sequence or arrangement of its inputs; a function that treats its arguments as an unordered set rather than an ordered sequence
An orderless function like addition treats {2, 3} and {3, 2} identically, always returning 5.
Uma função sem ordem como a adição trata {2, 3} e {3, 2} de forma idêntica, sempre retornando 5.
2. In formal logic and set theory, a function where the order of arguments is irrelevant to the result
The intersection of sets is an orderless function because A ∩ B equals B ∩ A.
A interseção de conjuntos é uma função sem ordem porque A ∩ B é igual a B ∩ A.
This is primarily a technical term used in mathematics, computer science, and formal logic education. It is not commonly used in everyday conversation in either Brazilian Portuguese or English-speaking contexts, but rather in academic and professional technical settings where mathematical precision is required.
