A variable-frequency drive (VFD, or adjustable-frequency drives, adjustable-speed drives, variable-speed drives, AC drives, micro drives, inverter drives, or drives) is a type of AC motor drive (system incorporating a motor) that controls speed and torque by varying the frequency of the input electricity. Depending on its topology, it controls the associated voltage or current variation.

Whore Variable

A variable that you use throughout a code without printing it.
arr = input('Enter your array: ');
r,c = size(arr);
for j = 1:c

sum = 0;

for i = 1:r

sum = sum + arr(i,j);

end

arr2(j) = sum;
end
disp(arr2);

Oh man, that "sum" variable is a whore variable!

Bill: You see that?!?!
James: You serious? She's hideous.
Bill: C'mon you gotta isolate the variable.
James: You right. She needs to turn back around though.

One consistent variable

You don't know how many consistent variables there are and if I had video evidence of a consistent variable that wasn't me you would hack the product ordering system of my place of employment and then all of the people I spoke about online would get fired or transferred within a month.
Hym "You're presupposing that there's only one consistent variable. You can't possibly believe there are not externally imposed circumstances. 'BuT yOu CaN't Do AnYtHiNg AbOuT tHoSe BeCaUsE iT cOuLd ReQuIrE mE tO dO sOmEtHiNg I dOn'T wAnT tO' Fucking garbage."

Sampling Variability

The fact that different random samples of the same size from the same population produce different estimates.
As we study sampling variability, which do you suspect varies less: averages or individual values?
