Nginikeze isifinyezo esilula se-idempotency
Context:Idempotence (UK: /ˌɪdɛmˈpoʊtəns/, US: /ˈaɪdəm-/) iyindawo yokusebenza okuthile kwezibalo nesayensi yamakhompyutha lapho kungasetshenziswa khona kaninginingi ngaphandle kokushintsha umphumela ngaphezu kwesicelo sokuqala. Umqondo we-idempotence uvela ezindaweni eziningana ku-algebra abstract (ikakhulukazi, emcabangweni wama-projector kanye nama-opharetha wokuvala) kanye nokuhlela okusebenzayo (lapho ixhunywe khona nempahla yokungafihli kokubhekisela).  Leli gama laqanjwa isazi sezibalo saseMelika uBenjamin Peirce ngo-1870 esimweni sezinto ze-algebra ezihlala zingashintshi lapho ziphakanyiselwa amandla amanani aphelele, futhi ngokwezwi nezwi lisho ukuthi " ((ikhwalithi yokuba) namandla afanayo", kusuka ku-idem + amandla (amandla afanayo + amandla).
I-idempotency iyimpahla yezibalo lapho uma usebenzisa inqubo kaningi, umphumela uhlala ufana - njengokungathi usebenzise inqubo kanye kuphela. Ukungabi namandla kungakunika okungenani ulwazi oluthile.
