  Codomain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A codomain in mathematics is the set of "output" values associated with (or mapped to) the domain of "input" arguments in a function.
The codomain is not to be confused with the range, which is in general only a subset of B; in lower-level mathematics education, however, range is often taught as being equivalent to codomain.
The codomain does not affect whether or not the function is an injection.

 Range (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The range is a subset of the codomain, but is not necessarily equal to the codomain, since there may be elements of the codomain which are not elements of the range.
Another way to think about this is to consider the codomain to be the set of all possible output values, while the range is the set of all actual outputs.
The codomain of f is R, and f takes all nonnegative values but never takes negative values, and thus the range is in fact the set R

 Function codomain : Codomain   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Given a function f: A → B, the set B is called the codomain of f.
The codomain isn't to be confused with the range f(A), which is in general only a subset of B.
The codomain can affect whether or not the function is a surjection; in our example, g is a surjection while f isn't.

 PreCalculus
The codomain is the type of output that the function was declared to produce.
This would define the codomain to be the same as the range.
This declaration states that the argument of the function, the domain, is a floating point number and that the returned value of the function, the codomain, is also a floating point number.

Let the function f be a function on the real numbers: In mathematics, the real numbers are intuitively defined as numbers that are in one-to-one correspondence with the points on an infinite line—the number line.

The codomain is not to be confused with the (A series of hills or mountains) range f(A), which is in general only a (A set whose members are members of another set; a set contained within another set) subset of B.

The codomain of a linear transformation is the vector space which contains the vectors resulting from the transformation's action.
The column space of a matrix is the subspace of the codomain which is spanned by the columns of the matrix.
The set of the images of all vectors in the domain is called the range of T, which in turn is contained in the codomain.

 Returns
If the function uses the entire codomain, then the developer is limited to handling errors similar to the first two examples.
Extending a function's codomain can be done easily when the codomain is an object reference: extend by allowing references to exceptions.
By simply increasing the codomain of a function, we are able to model exceptions as return values.

The RANGE of a function is the set of values in the CODOMAIN for which there is a mapping from the DOMAIN.
Note that the RANGE may be equal to the CODOMAIN, or may be a proper subset of the CODOMAIN.
A common way to express a function in terms of an equation, is to choose a variable to represent a value in the RANGE, and set that equal to f(x), where f(x) maps x to variable y: Variable Variable representing representing a value in a value in the RANGE the DOMAIN

A set X of all admissible real values of an argument x, at which a function y = f (x) is defined, is called a domain of a function.
A set Y of all real values y, that a function adopts, is called a codomain of a function.
Now we can formulate a definition of a function more exactly: such a rule (law) of a correspondence between a set X and a set Y, that for each element of a set X one and only one element of a set Y can be found, is called a function.

This set is known as the codomain of a function.
A surjective function, also called onto, is a function such that for every element y in the codomain, there is an element x in the domain which is mapped to y.
That is, the range of a surjective function is equal to the entire codomain.
