nonzero
Has some value
Nonzero describes a quantity that isn't zero—whether positive or negative.
The term appears most often in mathematics and computing: The function returns true if the value is nonzero.
In casual usage, nonzero sometimes means small but real: There's a nonzero chance it could happen.
