"Unary" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
The word "unary" refers to a relation or operation that involves one operand. It is a mathematical term that describes a function or operation that takes a single input (operand) and produces a single output.
For example, in arithmetic, addition is a unary operation when it is written as a prefix (e.g. "+3" means "add 3 to the number before it") whereas it is binary when written as infix (e.g. "3 + 4" means "add 3 and 4 together").
In programming, unary operators are typically used to perform operations such as increment, decrement, negation, etc. on a single variable.
As an adjective, "unary" can also refer to something that is related to or consisting of one part or element.
