parametrivalue

Parametrivalue is a term that, in some technical contexts, refers to the value bound to a parameter in a function, method, model, or configuration. It is not a standard term in mainstream programming documentation, where phrases like parameter value or argument value are more common. When used, parametrivalue often appears as a single token in code identifiers or documentation notes, sometimes in camelCase as parameterValue.

Definition and usage: Parametrivalue denotes the actual data assigned to a parameter, distinct from the parameter’s name or type. For example, in a function f(x, y) where x is 5 and y is 3, the parameter values are 5 and 3. In practice, parameter values are supplied at call time through function arguments, API requests, or configuration files, and they can affect program behavior, outputs, or system settings. They may be validated, constrained, or given defaults when not supplied.

Contexts and examples: In parameterized queries, parameter values are bound to placeholders to prevent injection and to customize results. In machine learning and simulations, values assigned to model parameters or hyperparameters influence training or results, with different settings producing different outcomes. In configuration management, parameter values determine runtime behavior of software components.

Relation to related terms: A parameter is the named placeholder; the value (parametrivalue) is the actual data provided; an argument is the concrete input supplied to a function; a hyperparameter is a higher-level setting chosen by the user or developer.
