operands
Numbers being processed
Operands are the values that an operation acts upon.
In mathematics and computing, they're what operators work on: in 2 + 3, the operands are 2 and 3, while + is the operator.
The term appears almost exclusively in technical contexts—programming, logic, and mathematical notation.
