quantifier
Specifies how many
A quantifier is a word or phrase that indicates amount or number: all, some, many, few, none, every.
In logic and mathematics, quantifiers specify whether a statement applies to all members of a set (universal quantifier) or at least one (existential quantifier).
Quantifiers answer "how much?" or "how many?" without giving exact figures.
