resultado

Resultado is a noun used in Spanish and Portuguese to denote the outcome or consequence of a process, action, or event. It can refer to the final product of an operation, the conclusion of an experiment, the score of a game, or the output produced by a function or procedure in mathematics and computing.

The word derives from related verbs such as resultar or resultar, with the noun form formed by the suffix -do. Its etymology traces back to Latin roots associated with returning or arising from a result, and it has been incorporated into Romance languages with similar meanings.

In mathematics and computing, the resultado is the value produced by an operation or function. In programming, it often corresponds to the value returned by a function or procedure. In statistics and data analysis, it denotes the outcome of an experiment, study, or model, frequently reported with accompanying measures of uncertainty or significance. In sports, games, and competitions, the término refers to the final score or ranking that determines the winner or the position of participants.

In everyday usage, resultado appears in phrases such as “el resultado de la prueba,” “el resultado de la encuesta,” or “el resultado final.” It can also describe the practical implications or consequences of a decision, policy, or event. The word is commonly contrasted with synonyms like consecuencia, producto, or salida, depending on context.
