value,
n.
1. the particular quantity that is the result of applying a function or operation, for some given argument. For example, the value of the function y = x2 for x = 3 is 9. 2a. an assignment of a significance to a variable; for example, for any value of x, x = x; the value of x for which 3x = 6 is 2.
b. in particular, a value assigned to a statement by a valuation; a sentential variable in classical logic may take either of the values true and false. 3. (Game theory) see minimax theorem. 4. the total network flow reaching the terminal node of a network.
