I have several expenses and incomes in the application I'm currently coding. What can I call an entity like that, that is either positive (income) or (negative)? It should be related to money, if possible.  Edit: Not sure if I expressed myself clearly. I'm looking for a word like "money-transfer", "stream" or "money that goes over the table" (no matter which direction). A word that fits in a financial context.

I’m looking for a generic word that means “debit or credit”.  Say I have a transaction, and I don’t know whether it’s a debit on the account or a credit on the account, and I want to ask about it, is there a word I can use?   For example, if I were asking whether a book were green or blue, I would ask, “What’s its color?”  If I ask whether a transaction was a debit or a credit, can I fill in the blank, “What’s its _?”  (Background: I’m looking to name a variable while programming, and the best I can come up with is type, which is not very descriptive).

Sorry for asking such a basic question - but is there an actual term for the numbers that appear before and after the decimal point?  Example:  25.18  I know the 1 is in the tenths position, the 8 is in the hundredths position. are there singular terms which apply to all of the numbers that appear both before and after the decimal point?  I'm building a billing system, storing dollars and cents as integers (in separate columns), but for other currencies "dollars" and "cents" are not the correct terms = ).  Thanks!

I'm looking for an idiom to describe something that has a negligible effect.   The only similar question I found here was: , but I'm looking for something else.  I remember it being something to do with water or fire. Something along the lines of throwing a very small amount of water on a large fire? Does anyone know what I'm thinking of?

Today we were discussing our "credit system" for our website.  At our company, clients can pay us money to get credits. One credit represents one dollar. But what is the best way of represent the money given by our client?  One dollar as 1 credit or One dollar as $1.00  The discussion started because we asked ourselves if the client feels that he "lost" his one dollar when it is transformed into a credit. What are your thoughts on this question?

I wonder if &quot;owed&quot; and &quot;due&quot; mean the opposite in the following quote from ?  In banking and accountancy, the outstanding balance is the amount of money owed, (or due), that remains in a deposit account (or a loan account) at a given date, after all past remittances, payments and withdrawal have been accounted for. It can be positive (then, in the balance sheet of a firm, it is an asset) or negative (a liability).  I think  owed and due both mean someone owes someone else another something. But in the quote, it looks like owed means someone else owes someone something, and due means someone owes someone else something. I am confused. Thanks!

I'm looking for the English word to describe a card which can be sold to a customer which contains several tickets. For instance, in a fitness center you can buy a card which allows you to participate in classes 10 times.  The closest thing I have is "punch card", but not having English as my main language, I'm not sure if that is correct.

What is the "standard" way to denote all positive (or non-negative) real numbers? I'd think  $$ \mathbb R^+ $$  but I believe that that is usually used to denote "all real numbers including infinity".  So is there a standard way to denote the set  $$ \{x \in \mathbb R : x \geq 0\} \; ?$$

There is a phrase I have heard quite a bit recently dealing with people that are leaving the department for promotions, etc. When a person leaves, it is good for them, but bad for us.  It is good for them because they will be pursuing a new opportunity, but not so good for the department since they will have to be replaced, and others will have to pick up the slack until someone else can be hired and get up to speed.  Is there a word that means that a deal is good for one party, but not necessarily the other?

I am not that punctuation-savy, so I have one question for my research title.  Currently it is      Social crowdfunding:  individual- and project-related determinants of success.    Empirical investigation on Kickstarter   Here I have two questions.   Is it right to say individual- or just individual?  Should there be a period after "Empirical investigation on Kickstarter"?

I am looking to correctly name something.  Often when I have my data, I calculate a "value". For instance a moment like the mean value, or a quantile. Or I aggregate a continuous variable into say 5 categories. For instance, for a time series I would calculate the mean value or some wavelet coefficients.  Then I use all those "values" as input for, e.g., my regression analysis. In quantitative trading lay people call those calculated values "signal", but that sounds strange to me.  In general, what is the name for those "values"? How would a statistician name those?
