coordinatesfound

Coordinatesfound is a term used in software development to indicate that a set of spatial coordinates has been located or computed. It is not a formal standard; rather, it appears as a variable name or field in many codebases concerned with navigation, mapping, computer vision, and geolocation tasks. The term can function as a boolean flag or as a container for the coordinates themselves.

In typical usage, coordinatesfound may be represented in two ways. As a boolean flag, it simply marks whether coordinates have been determined. As a data object, it can hold the actual coordinates, such as x, y, z values, and often supplementary metadata like accuracy, timestamp, or coordinate reference system. The exact structure depends on the language and domain.

Naming conventions vary by language. In camelCase, common in JavaScript, Java, or C#, it appears as coordinatesFound. In snake_case, used in Python, it becomes coordinates_found. The choice is usually driven by the project’s style guide.

Example (pseudocode):

coordinatesFound = false

while not coordinatesFound:

coordinates = attemptToFindCoordinates()

if coordinates are valid:

coordinatesFound = true

// proceed with coordinates

Related concepts include coordinate systems, geolocation, triangulation, localization, and geospatial data. The term is informal rather than a standardized entity, and its precise meaning can differ across projects.
