initial value; initial condition
Mathematical term for the starting value of a variable, sequence, or differential equation. Also used in physics and engineering contexts.
default value; initializing value
Computing term for the value a variable or setting holds before being explicitly changed by the user or program. Often used in programming, configuration, and UI contexts.
Please set the initial value for this differential equation.
If the initial value of the sequence is wrong, the result will change significantly.
The default value for this setting is 'off'.
When declaring a variable, always assign an initializing value.
初期設定 refers to the initial setup or configuration process, while 初期値 refers specifically to the value itself.
block data program unit
Compound of 初期 (shoki, 'initial period') + 値 (chi, 'value'). A straightforward technical term with no irregular etymology.
