conditionsNo

ConditionsNo is a term that typically appears in software documentation and configuration files to denote the number of conditions or rules that are applied by a particular function, algorithm, or system. In many contexts, a conditions number is used to control how many constraints, checks, or prerequisites are evaluated before a certain action is taken. For example, in a data filtering routine, an argument named conditionsNo may specify how many filtering criteria must be satisfied for a record to be included in the result set.

The term can also be found in scripts and scripts libraries that support conditional compilation or dynamic features, where conditionsNo indicates the count of conditional compilation blocks or the depth of nested conditionals. In some statistical modelling packages, it may represent the number of conditional probability tables or the number of constraints in a conditional independence test.

When configuring a system that uses ConditionsNo, the value is usually an integer. Common patterns involve setting it to zero for no filtering, or to a higher value to enforce stricter rule sets. Documentation will often accompany the parameter with guidance on the implications of different values for performance and accuracy.
