sisearv

Sisearv is a term used in Estonian-language discussions of mathematics and programming to refer to an internal numeric value, typically the value held by a variable or provided as input to a computation. The word is formed from sise- meaning internal or inner, and arv meaning number. In educational materials, sisearv is used to distinguish the value being processed from constants or outputs.

In mathematics, a sisearv may denote the current value under consideration within a formula or algorithm, such as the operand in an operation or the running total in a loop. In programming, it is commonly the input number or the current accumulator value during execution; many tasks frame instructions as "loe sisearv" (read the sisearv) or similar variants.

Examples: If a problem asks to read an integer sisearv and print its square, the program treats sisearv as the input value to be transformed. If a loop sums numbers, the variable holding the running total can be described as the sisearv at each step.

Relation to other terms: It is often used interchangeably with related phrases such as sisendarv (input number) or muutuja (variable) value, depending on the author.

Notes: The term is not a formal mathematical object, but a descriptive label used in Estonian-language teaching materials and informal discussions. See also: sisend, muutuja, väljund.
