I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask, but will try anyway. Is there a term that can mean either subtraction or addition?
I'm working with a program that adds/subtracts up several numbers in the fibonacci sequence in one variable depending on whether the item is even or odd, and was wondering if there was a catch-all term that can mean both.
That way I can write something like: "The program blanks a sequence of fibonacci numbers, subtracting odd values and adding even ones."
The term “addition” includes “subtraction” (as addition of an additive inverse), too.
So your final sentence may be:
“The program adds a sequence of Fibonacci numbers, odd values with minus sign.”
