nezmenný

Nezmenný is a Slovak word that translates to "immutable" or "unchangeable" in English. It describes something that cannot be altered, modified, or changed after its creation or initial state. This concept is fundamental in various fields, including computer programming, mathematics, and linguistics.

In computer science, an immutable object is one whose state cannot be modified after it is constructed. Any operation that appears to modify an immutable object actually creates a new object with the modified state. This immutability can lead to more predictable code, easier debugging, and enhanced thread safety. Examples include strings in many programming languages.

In mathematics, immutable properties are often discussed in the context of definitions or axioms that are taken as fixed and unalterable. For instance, the properties of prime numbers are considered immutable; they are inherent to the definition of a prime number and do not change.

Linguistically, the term might refer to words or grammatical structures that have remained stable over time, resisting significant phonetic or semantic shifts. While languages are inherently dynamic, certain core elements or historical forms can be considered relatively immutable in comparison to more fluid aspects of language evolution. The concept of nezmenný highlights the importance of fixed points or constants within systems.
