Hyphenation of parameter

How to hyphenate parameter

Because it is a word with a single syllable, parameter is not hyphenated. The words that have a single syllable are called monosyllabic words.

parameter

Syllables Count: 1
Characters Count: 9
Alpha-numeric Characters Count: 9
Hyphens Count: 0

Haphenation done based on the Knuth-Liang word-division algorithm. The computed hyphenation pattern is: parameter

Definitions of parameter

parameter is defined as:

Definition 1 as noun

noun
A value kept constant during an experiment, equation, calculation or similar, but varied over other versions of the experiment, equation, calculation, etc.
noun
A variable that describes some system (material, object, event etc.) or some aspect thereof
noun
An input variable of a procedure definition, that gets an actual value (argument) at execution time (formal parameter).
Example: Roughly, a tuple of arguments could be thought of as a vector, whereas a tuple of parameters could be thought of as a covector (i.e., linear functional). When a function is called, a parameter tuple becomes "bound" to an argument tuple, allowing the function instance itself to be computed to yield a return value. This would be roughly analogous to applying a covector to a vector (by taking their dot product (or, rather, matrix-product of row vector and column vector)) to obtain a scalar.
noun
An actual value given to such a formal parameter (argument or actual parameter).
noun
A characteristic or feature that distinguishes something from others.
noun
In the ellipse and hyperbola, a third proportional to any diameter and its conjugate, or in the parabola, to any abscissa and the corresponding ordinate.
Example: The parameter of the principal axis of a conic section is called the latus rectum.
noun
The ratio of the three crystallographic axes which determines the position of any plane.
noun
The fundamental axial ratio for a given species.

What is hyphenation

Hyphenation is the process of splitting words into syllables and inserting hyphens between them to facilitate the reading of a text. It is also used to divide words when the word cannot fit on a line.

This technique is particularly helpful in fully justified texts, where it aids in creating a uniform edge along both sides of a paragraph. Hyphenation rules vary among languages and even among different publications within the same language. It's a critical component in typesetting, significantly influencing the aesthetics and readability of printed and digital media. For instance, in compound adjectives like 'long-term solution', hyphens clarify relationships between words, preventing misinterpretation. Moreover, hyphenation can alter meanings: 'recreation' differs from 're-creation'.

With the advent of digital text, hyphenation algorithms have become more sophisticated, though still imperfect, sometimes requiring manual adjustment to ensure accuracy and coherence in text layout. Understanding and correctly applying hyphenation rules is therefore not only a matter of linguistic accuracy but also a key aspect of effective visual communication.
