Darabszám

Darabszám is a Hungarian term that denotes the number of discrete items in a collection. It expresses the cardinality, i.e., how many individual units are present or required. Darabszám applies to countable objects that can be enumerated one by one and is distinct from measurements of continuous quantities such as weight, volume, or length. The word darab means a piece or unit, and darabszám refers to the total count of those units used in inventories, orders, pricing, and logistics.

In everyday and commercial contexts, the darabszám specifies how many items are included in a package, shipment, or order. In invoices and product specifications, a field labeled darabszám indicates the quantity to be delivered or billed. When planning production or stock control, the target darabszám helps determine material needs, staffing, and capacity.

Because darabszám counts discrete items, it is represented as an integer and cannot be negative. In data processing, it is typically stored as an integer type. In Hungarian, the noun darab denotes a single piece, while darabszám denotes the count of pieces in a set or transaction; the plural form is darabszámok.

Examples include: a box containing 12 darab ceruza; a production batch with a darabszám of 5 000 darab; or a survey reporting a darabszám of 120 responses. In all cases, darabszám refers to how many individual items are present or required.
