Sorry for the (slightly) off topic post but I know this is where all the
clever people hang out :)

What's the collective term for Variables, Constants, Parameters etc... ie
anything which has a value even if, like the constant, the value cannot be
altered.

So I would exclude methods from this definition ( although one could argue
that functions have a vvalue)

Thanks for any help

Click to expand...

Without this exclusion, I had mentioned "identifier" as the term. I haven't
come across a term including constants, variables and parameters only.
