abcdxyz123 bah!
augend + addend = sum
minuend - subtrahend = difference
multiplier * multiplicand = product
dividend / divisor = quotient
dividend % divisor = reminder
Follow
what if the operand names for addition and subtraction were consistent with multiplication and division though?
addend + adder = sum
subtrand - subtractor = difference
programmified?
to + adder = sum
from - subtractor = difference
but then
to + added = sum
from - subtracted = difference
and it's not at all consistent anymore, unless
by * multiplied = product
by / divided = quotent
which seems bleh
