The context is clearly mathematical/computational, discussing syntax of mathematical software (Maxima and Maple). The phrase "bounded variable in a function" is specifically a mathematical term referring to variables in formal mathematical function definitions. Sense 1 (the mathematical relation definition with domain and range) best captures this usage, distinguishing it from the programming routine sense (7) which would be less precise for this mathematical context.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The sentence is:

"It's the way to specify the bounded variable in a <t>function</t>."

This is in the context of explaining syntax for mathematical software (maxima and maple). The text is discussing operators and symbols used in mathematical programming:
- Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division operators
- Power operators (^ and **)
- Unicode characters for powers
- The "-gt:" operator is used to specify the bounded variable in a function
- Parentheses for priority

The context is clearly about mathematical/programming functions. The mention of "bounded variable" is a mathematical concept typically used in lambda calculus and mathematical function definitions.

Let me consider the candidate senses:

1. **sense 1**: Mathematical relation where each element of domain is associated with an element of range - this fits the mathematical context
2. **sense 2**: Purpose or use - doesn't fit well
3. **sense 3**: Actions and activities assigned to a person or group - doesn't fit
4. **sense 4**: A relation where one thing is dependent on another - also mathematical, similar to sense 1
5. **sense 5**: Formal social gathering - completely wrong
6. **sense 6**: Social event - completely wrong
7. **sense 7**: A set sequence of steps, part of computer program - this could fit the programming context

Given the context of mathematical software and the reference to "bounded variable," this is clearly about a mathematical function. Senses 1 and 4 are both mathematical, but sense 1 is more about the formal mathematical definition using domain and range, while sense 4 is about dependency relationships.

Actually, in the context of specifying a "bounded variable" in a function, this relates to the mathematical concept of functions. Sense 1 (formal mathematical definition) seems most appropriate, though sense 7 (computer program routine) could also apply since we're discussing programming language syntax.
The phrase "bounded variable" is fundamentally a mathematical term rather than a programming one, pointing toward the formal mathematical definition. Between the two viable options—the mathematical relation (sense 1) and the programmatic sequence of steps (sense 7)—the mathematical terminology tips the balance toward sense 1.

The context shows "(): It is used to specify a higher priority," where "used" means "put into service" or "employed for a particular purpose." The parentheses are being employed to achieve the specific purpose of specifying higher priority in the syntax. This matches sense 1: "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context where "used" appears:

"(): It is used to specify a higher priority."

This sentence is explaining that parentheses () are used to specify a higher priority in some kind of syntax or parser context (based on the surrounding text about mathematical operators and parsing).

The key question is: what does "used" mean here?

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense 1: "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose" - Examples: "use your head!; we only use Spanish at home"

2. sense 2: "take or consume (regularly or habitually)" - Example: "She uses drugs rarely"

3. sense 3: "use up, consume fully" - Example: "The legislature expended its time on school questions"

4. sense 4: "seek or achieve an end by using to one's advantage" - Examples about using people/connections

5. sense 5: "avail oneself to" - Examples: "apply a principle; practice a religion"

6. sense 6: "habitually do something (use only in the past tense)" - Example: "She used to call her mother every week..."

In the context "(): It is used to specify a higher priority", the word "used" means "employed for" or "put into service to accomplish" the purpose of specifying a higher priority. This is clearly sense 1, which is about putting something into service for a particular purpose.

The sentence structure is passive voice ("It is used to specify..."), which is equivalent to saying "You use () to specify a higher priority" or "() is used to specify a higher priority."

This is definitely sense 1: "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose"

The sense index is 1.

The context describes parentheses being used to "specify a higher priority" in what appears to be a mathematical or programming syntax explanation. This matches sense 2 ("decide upon or fix definitely"), where "specify the parameters" is given as an example. The usage here is about fixing/determining the priority level through the use of parentheses, which aligns with the sense of deciding upon or fixing something definitively.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context where "specify" is used:

"(): It is used to <t>specify</t> a higher priority."

This is talking about parentheses in some kind of programming or mathematical syntax. The context is about using parentheses to specify/designate that something has higher priority.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=specify%2:32:03:: - "specify as a condition or requirement in a contract or agreement" - This is about legal/contractual specifications. Doesn't fit.

2. sense_key=specify%2:32:02:: - "decide upon or fix definitely" with synonyms: set, determine, define, fix, limit. Examples: "fix the variables; specify the parameters" - This fits well! In the context of parentheses specifying/determining priority, this is about fixing or deciding what takes priority.

3. sense_key=specify%2:42:00:: - "determine the essential quality of" - This is more about defining the nature/quality of something. Doesn't quite fit.

4. sense_key=specify%2:32:00:: - "be specific about" with synonym "particularize" - This is about being more specific/detailed. Doesn't fit the context.

5. sense_key=specify%2:31:02:: - "define clearly" - This is about making clear definitions. Could fit but not the best.

6. sense_key=specify%2:31:00:: - "design or destine" - Doesn't fit.

7. sense_key=specify%2:31:05:: - "select something or someone for a specific purpose" - Doesn't fit the context.

The best fit is sense 2 (specify%2:32:02::). The context is about parentheses being used to set/determine/fix that something has higher priority. The example "specify the parameters" from sense 2 is very similar to the usage context here - both are about fixing/determining something in a technical/mathematical context.

The context discusses how parentheses are used to specify "higher priority" in a parser. In this technical/programming context, "higher priority" refers to something that stands above others in terms of position or precedence in the order of operations. This aligns with sense 3 ("standing above others in quality or position"), which captures the hierarchical relationship where higher priority takes precedence over lower priorities.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to understand what "higher" means in this sentence:

"(): It is used to specify a <t>higher</t> priority."

The context is about programming/parsing, where parentheses are used to specify priority order. The term "higher priority" in programming/technical contexts typically means something that has greater importance or precedence in the order of operations or execution.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=high%3:00:02:: - greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount. This could fit - higher priority means greater priority/importance.

2. sense_key=high%3:00:01:: - being at or having a relatively great or specific elevation or upward extension. This doesn't fit - "higher priority" is not about physical elevation.

3. sense_key=high%5:00:00:superior:01 - standing above others in quality or position. This fits well - higher priority means it stands above (is superior to) other priorities.

4. sense_key=high%3:00:03:: - used of sounds and voices; high in pitch or frequency. Doesn't fit.

5. sense_key=high%5:00:00:elated:00 - happy and excited. Doesn't fit.

6. sense_key=high%5:00:00:malodorous:00 - smelling spoiled. Doesn't fit.

7. sense_key=high%5:00:00:intoxicated:00 - intoxicated. Doesn't fit.

Between sense 1 and 3:
- Sense 1: "greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount"
- Sense 3: "standing above others in quality or position"

In the context of "higher priority," this is about something having greater importance or standing above other priorities in terms of quality/position. Sense 3 seems more appropriate as it specifically refers to "standing above others" which aligns with priority hierarchy. However, sense 1 could also work as "greater degree."
The definition of sense 3 captures exactly what "higher priority" conveys in programming—a task that stands above and takes precedence over others. This is the most fitting choice.

The context discusses using parentheses in mathematics/programming to specify operator precedence. This is about establishing an order of importance for how operations are evaluated, which directly corresponds to sense 1's definition of "status established in order of importance or urgency." The word "precedence" (a synonym for sense 1) is the exact technical term used in programming for operator priority.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for the word "priority" here.

The sentence is: "It is used to specify a higher priority."

This is in a programming context, discussing mathematical operators and function syntax. The parentheses are used to specify a higher priority in terms of operator precedence in parsing/evaluation.

Now let me look at the two senses:

1. Sense 1: "status established in order of importance or urgency"
   - Synonyms: precedence, precedency
   - Examples: "its precedence as the world's leading manufacturer of pharmaceuticals; national independence takes priority over class struggle"
   - This is about importance/urgency ranking

2. Sense 2: "preceding in time"
   - Synonyms: antecedence, antecedency, anteriority, precedence, precedency
   - This is about temporal ordering

In the programming context, "priority" refers to operator precedence - which operations should be evaluated first. This is about the order/ranking of importance in which operations are performed, not about time ordering.

This clearly matches Sense 1 - it's about establishing an order of importance/urgency (in this case, which operations have higher priority in evaluation). The concept of "operator precedence" is fundamentally about ranking operations by importance in terms of evaluation order.

Sense 2 is about temporal precedence (what comes before in time), which doesn't fit this context at all.

The answer should be: {"sense_index": 1}

The context describes a parser checking for the presence of a function: "When the parser finds a function, it checks if abc is an operator." In this technical context, "finds" means the parser detects or discovers the existence/presence of a function while processing code. Sense 2 ("discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of") with synonyms "detect, observe, discover, notice" best matches this meaning of identifying or recognizing something encountered during a process.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The sentence is:

"When the parser <t>finds</t> a function, it checks if abc is an operator."

In this context, the parser is checking/detecting when a function appears. The word "finds" here means that the parser encounters or discovers a function while processing.

Let me evaluate the candidate senses:

1. "come upon, as if by accident" - This suggests accidental discovery, but in parsing, finding a function is not accidental; it's part of the structured parsing process.

2. "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" - This is about detecting the presence of something. This fits well with how a parser would identify/detect a function in code.

3. "come upon after searching; find the location of something that was missed or lost" - This is more about locating something that was lost, not about discovering during parsing.

4. "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study" - This is about determining something through systematic investigation, which could fit, but it's a bit narrow.

5. "come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds" - This doesn't fit; parsing is not emotional or intuitive.

6. "perceive or be contemporaneous with" - This could work. The parser "perceives" or "encounters" a function.

7. "get something or somebody for a specific purpose" - Not applicable here.

8. "make a discovery, make a new finding" - Could fit, but a parser finding a function is expected, not necessarily a "discovery."

9. "make a discovery" - Similar to 8.
10. "obtain through effort or management" - Not applicable.

11. "decide on and make a declaration about" - Not applicable.

12. "receive a specified treatment" - Not applicable.

13. "perceive oneself to be in a certain condition or place" - Not applicable.

14. "get or find back; recover the use of" - Not applicable.

15. "succeed in reaching; arrive at" - The parser's action could be viewed as "reaching" or "arriving at" the function during code processing.

16. "accept and make use of one's personality, abilities, and situation" - Not applicable.

The strongest candidates are sense 2—detecting the presence of something through systematic parsing—and sense 15, which captures the idea of successfully reaching a particular element in the code structure.

The context is clearly discussing computational/programming syntax where `abc(params)` can be parsed as either a function or an operator. The passage refers to "a set sequence of steps, part of larger computer program" (routine, subroutine, procedure), which is the computer science definition of function rather than the mathematical sense. This is the appropriate interpretation when discussing programming language parsing and how the parser determines whether something should be treated as a function or operator.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The passage is discussing mathematical notation and parsing, particularly in the context of programming/mathematical syntax.

The specific mention is: "When the parser finds a <t>function</t>, it checks if abc is an operator. If it is, it will be treated as an operator, if it is not, it will be treated as a user function."

This is clearly in a computational/programming context. The text discusses:
- abc(params): notation
- Whether something is treated as a function or operator
- The parser's role in determining this

Let me evaluate the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=function%1:24:00:: - mathematical relation (domain/range) - This is about the mathematical definition of function. While this could apply, the context here is more about how functions work in programming syntax.

2. sense_key=function%1:07:00:: - what something is used for (purpose/role/use) - Not really relevant here.

3. sense_key=function%1:04:00:: - actions/activities assigned to a person or group - Not relevant.

4. sense_key=function%1:24:01:: - a relation such that one thing is dependent on another - This is also a mathematical sense, similar to sense 1.

5. sense_key=function%1:14:00:: - formal social gathering - Not relevant.

6. sense_key=function%1:11:00:: - vaguely specified social event - Not relevant.

7. sense_key=function%1:10:00:: - a set sequence of steps, part of larger computer program (routine, subroutine, procedure) - This is clearly about a computer function/subroutine, which is exactly what the context is discussing. The text talks about "abc(params)" being parsed as either a function or an operator in a programming language context.

The answer is clearly sense 7 - the computer science definition of function as a subroutine or procedure.

The context shows that the parser "checks if abc is an operator" - performing an examination or investigation to determine whether a condition is true. This matches sense 2's definition of "make an examination or investigation," where the examples "check into the rumor" and "check the time of the class" similarly involve investigating or determining something through examination.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context of how "checks" is used in the sentence:

"When the parser finds a function, it checks if abc is an operator."

The sentence is describing a parser that examines/verifies whether something (abc) is an operator. The parser is performing an examination or investigation to determine if a certain condition is true.

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. "examine so as to determine accuracy, quality, or condition" - This is about examining something to determine its condition/quality
2. "make an examination or investigation" - This is about performing an examination or investigation
3. "be careful or certain to do something; make certain of something" - This is about ensuring something
4. "lessen the intensity of; temper" - Control/restraint
5. "stop for a moment" - Pause
6. "put a check mark on" - Marking
21. "find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort" - This involves determining something with certainty

In this context, the parser "checks if abc is an operator" - meaning it examines/investigates/determines whether abc is an operator.

Sense 2 ("make an examination or investigation") seems like a good fit, as the parser is making an investigation to determine if something is an operator.

Sense 21 ("find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort") is also very close, as it involves determining something with certainty.

Actually, looking more carefully, sense 2 says "make an examination or investigation" with examples like "check into the rumor; check the time of the class" - which shows it's about examining to find out information.

Sense 21 says "find out, learn, or determine with certainty" with examples like "I want to see whether she speaks French; See whether it works" - this seems even more aligned with the intent of checking if something is true.
Sense 2 fits best here—the parser is conducting an examination to determine whether abc qualifies as an operator, which directly parallels the examples of investigating or looking into something to discover information.

Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "operator" in this text.

The context is discussing programming/mathematical notation:
- Powers (^, **)
- Unicode characters
- Bounded variables in functions
- Function priority with parentheses ()
- When a parser finds a function, it checks if it's an "operator"

The text states: "When the parser finds a function, it checks if abc is an operator. If it is, it will be treated as an operator, if it is not, it will be treated as a user function."

This is clearly a technical/programming context discussing mathematical or programming operators - symbols that perform operations.

Let me look at the candidate senses:
1. "(mathematics) a symbol or function representing a mathematical operation" - This fits perfectly. The context is about mathematical/programming notation and operators as symbols/functions.
2. "an agent that operates some apparatus or machine" - This doesn't fit. It's not about someone operating a machine.
3. "someone who owns or operates a business" - Doesn't fit.
4. "a shrewd or unscrupulous person" - Doesn't fit.
5. "a speculator who trades aggressively" - Doesn't fit.

The answer is clearly sense 1, which is the mathematical/programming definition of operator as a symbol or function representing a mathematical operation.

The context shows: "it will be treated as an operator, if it is not, it will be treated as a user function." This describes how the parser will regard or consider the function in a specific way - either as an operator or as a user function. This matches sense 8 "regard or consider in a specific way," which is exemplified by a structurally similar construction: "I treated his advances as a joke."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "treated" is being used.

The sentence is: "If it is, it will be treated as an operator, if it is not, it will be treated as a user function."

This is in a technical/programming context where the parser is determining how to handle a function. The meaning here is about how the function/item will be considered or classified - either as an operator or as a user function.

Let me look at the senses:

1. sense_key=treat%2:41:00:: interact in a certain way - "Do right by her; Treat him with caution" - This is about how you interact with someone/something
2. sense_key=treat%2:30:01:: subject to a process or treatment - "process cheese; process hair" - This is about applying a process
3. sense_key=treat%2:29:00:: provide treatment for - medical context
4. sense_key=treat%2:32:00:: act on verbally or in some form of artistic expression - "This book deals with incest" - about discussing/addressing a topic
5. sense_key=treat%2:40:00:: provide with a gift or entertainment
6. sense_key=treat%2:34:00:: provide with choice or abundant food or drink
7. sense_key=treat%2:32:03:: engage in negotiations
8. sense_key=treat%2:31:00:: regard or consider in a specific way - "I treated his advances as a joke"

The key context is: "it will be treated as an operator" - this means the parser will regard/consider/classify it as an operator.

This matches sense 8: "regard or consider in a specific way" with the example "I treated his advances as a joke" which has a similar structure: "I treated X as Y"
The correct sense is index 8, since the parser is regarding or considering the item in a particular way based on its classification.

The context is clearly discussing operators in a programming/mathematical context, where operators are symbols or functions representing mathematical operations (such as the assignment operator `=`, the function operator `abc(params)`, and parentheses for operation priority). This matches the mathematical sense perfectly.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The text is discussing a programming/parser context where it talks about:

1. Unicode characters
2. Powers and roots
3. Specifying bounded variables in a function
4. Parentheses for priority
5. "abc(params): When the parser finds a function, it checks if abc is an operator. If it is, it will be treated as an <t>operator</t>, if it is not, it will be treated as a user function."
6. Assignment operator =

This is clearly a programming/mathematical context discussing operators in the technical sense.

Let me evaluate the senses:

1. "operator%1:24:00::" - "(mathematics) a symbol or function representing a mathematical operation" - This fits perfectly! In programming and mathematics, operators are symbols or functions that represent operations.

2. "operator%1:18:00::" - "an agent that operates some apparatus or machine" - This is about a person operating equipment, not relevant.

3. "operator%1:18:01::" - "someone who owns or operates a business" - About business ownership, not relevant.

4. "operator%1:18:02::" - "a shrewd or unscrupulous person" - Not relevant.

5. "operator%1:18:03::" - "a speculator who trades aggressively" - Not relevant.

The context clearly refers to operators in the mathematical/programming sense - symbols and functions that represent operations (like the assignment operator =, parentheses for operation priority, function calls, etc.).

The best sense is sense 1: operator%1:24:00:: - "(mathematics) a symbol or function representing a mathematical operation"

Since I need to return a sense_index, and the senses are numbered 1-5, I should return {"sense_index": 1}

The context shows "will be treated as an operator" and "will be treated as a user function," which represents regarding or considering something in a specific way—in this case, classifying an element as belonging to a particular category. Sense 8 ("regard or consider in a specific way") best captures this meaning.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to find the best sense of "treated" in this sentence:

"When the parser finds a function, it checks if abc is an operator. If it is, it will be treated as an operator, if it is not, it will be treated as a user function."

The context is about a parser checking what type of object something is, and then handling it according to that type. The question is what "treated as" means here.

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. "interact in a certain way" - This is about handling something in a certain manner. The example is "Treat him with caution, please". This could fit.

2. "subject to a process or treatment, with the aim of readying for some purpose, improving, or remedying a condition" - This is about processing something. Could fit since it's about processing data.

3. "provide treatment for" - This is about medical treatment. Doesn't fit well.

4. "act on verbally or in some form of artistic expression" - This is about discussing or addressing a topic. Doesn't fit well.

5. "provide with a gift or entertainment" - Doesn't fit at all.

6. "provide with choice or abundant food or drink" - Doesn't fit at all.

7. "engage in negotiations in order to reach an agreement" - Doesn't fit.

8. "regard or consider in a specific way" - This is about considering something as being of a certain type. The example would be like "treat something as X" meaning "regard it as X".

In the context, "will be treated as an operator" means "will be regarded as/considered as an operator". This is very similar to sense 8 "regard or consider in a specific way".

Sense 1 could also work, but sense 8 is more specific to the "treat as" construction which is clearly present in the text.
Sense 8 best captures what's happening here—the parser is regarding the object as either an operator or a user function based on its classification.

The context describes a programming scenario where "user function" refers to a function defined by a user (programmer) as opposed to a built-in operator. This matches sense 1: "a person who makes use of a thing; someone who uses or employs something" - the user is the person who employs/uses the programming language to define their own functions.

reasoning_content:
Looking at the context, the target word is "user" in the phrase "user function".

Let me analyze the sentence: "If it is, it will be treated as an operator, if it is not, it will be treated as a user function."

This is a technical/programming context where "user function" refers to a function that is defined by the user (as opposed to being a built-in operator or system function).

Now let me examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=user%1:18:00:: | definition=a person who makes use of a thing; someone who uses or employs something
   - This is the general sense of "user" - someone who uses something

2. sense_key=user%1:18:01:: | definition=a person who uses something or someone selfishly or unethically | synonyms=exploiter
   - This is about someone who exploits or uses something unethically - not relevant here

3. sense_key=user%1:18:02:: | definition=a person who takes drugs | synonyms=drug user, substance abuser
   - This is about drug users - definitely not relevant here

In the programming context, "user function" means a function defined by the user (the person writing the code). This is using sense 1 - "a person who makes use of a thing; someone who uses or employs something". The user is the person who uses/employs the programming language to define their own function.

The best sense is sense_index 1.

The context is clearly discussing computer programming and parsing. The passage explains how the parser handles function calls with parameters (e.g., `abc(params)`) and distinguishes between user-defined functions and operators. This is explicitly referring to a subroutine or procedure in a computer program—a set sequence of steps that is part of a larger program—which corresponds to sense 7.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "function" is most appropriate.

The context is about parser and programming language notation:
- "It's the way to specify the bounded variable in a function"
- "abc(params): When the parser finds a function, it checks if abc is an operator"
- "if it is not, it will be treated as a user function"

This is clearly a programming/computer science context. The word "function" here refers to a subroutine or procedure in a computer program - something that takes parameters and performs operations.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. Mathematical function - a relation in mathematics. While functions in programming are based on mathematical functions, this is not the primary sense in this context.

2. Purpose/role/use - what something is used for. Not appropriate here.

3. Actions/activities assigned to a person/group - office, part, role. Not appropriate here.

4. A relation where one thing is dependent on another - this is too vague and mathematical.

5. A formal social gathering - completely wrong context.

6. A vaguely specified social event - completely wrong context.

7. A set sequence of steps, part of a larger computer program - synonyms are routine, subroutine, subprogram, procedure. This perfectly matches the context!

The context is explicitly discussing:
- Parser treating "abc(params)" as a function
- The function concept in programming
- User-defined functions

Sense 7 is clearly the best fit. It refers to "a set sequence of steps, part of larger computer program" with synonyms like "routine, subroutine, subprogram, procedure" - all programming terms.

The answer should be sense index 7.

The context "It is used to define a variable value" describes the "=" symbol being employed or put into service for a specific purpose. This matches sense 1, which means "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose." The synonyms "employ" and "apply" align well with how "used" functions in this technical/instructional context.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context of the target word "used" in the sentence: "It is used to define a variable value."

This sentence is describing the function of the "=" symbol in some programming language or notation system.

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=use%2:34:01:: - "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose" | synonyms=utilize, utilise, apply, employ | examples=use your head!; we only use Spanish at home

2. sense_key=use%2:34:02:: - "take or consume (regularly or habitually)" | This is clearly not the right sense as the sentence is not about consuming something.

3. sense_key=use%2:34:00:: - "use up, consume fully" | This is about consuming/expending, which doesn't fit the context.

4. sense_key=use%2:41:14:: - "seek or achieve an end by using to one's advantage" | This is about manipulating or taking advantage, which doesn't fit.

5. sense_key=use%2:41:04:: - "avail oneself to" | This could work - it means to apply or employ something.

6. sense_key=use%2:41:03:: - "habitually do something (use only in the past tense)" | This is specifically for past tense describing habitual actions, like "used to". This doesn't fit because "used" here is passive voice describing the purpose of the "=" symbol.

The sentence "It is used to define a variable value" means that the "=" symbol is employed/put into service for the purpose of defining a variable value. This is clearly sense 1 - "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose."

The key synonyms are "utilize, utilise, apply, employ" and these all fit perfectly with the meaning in the sentence.
Sense 1 is the correct answer.

The context describes using "=" to assign a value to a variable. Sense 5 ("decide upon or fix definitely") with its synonyms "specify, set, determine, fix, limit" and examples about fixing variables and specifying parameters directly matches this programming context where defining a variable means establishing/setting its value.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for the word "define" in this programming documentation.

The context is: "=: It is used to <t>define</t> a variable value."

This is talking about an assignment operator (=) that is used to define/set a variable value.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. determine the essential quality of | synonyms: specify, delineate, delimit, delimitate
2. give a definition for the meaning of a word | examples: Define `sadness'
3. determine the nature of | examples: What defines a good wine?
4. show the form or outline of | synonyms: delineate | examples: The tree was clearly defined by the light
5. decide upon or fix definitely | synonyms: specify, set, determine, fix, limit | examples: fix the variables; specify the parameters

In the context of programming, "define a variable value" means to assign/set a value to a variable. This is about establishing or fixing the value of a variable.

Sense 5 seems most appropriate: "decide upon or fix definitely" with synonyms "specify, set, determine, fix, limit" and examples "fix the variables; specify the parameters"

This clearly matches the programming context where you're setting/fixing the value of a variable. The synonyms and examples are directly related to programming and variable assignment.

Sense 1 is about determining essential quality.
Sense 2 is about providing a dictionary definition.
Sense 3 is about determining nature.
Sense 4 is about visual definition/outline.

Sense 5 is the best fit.

The context describes programming syntax where "=" is used to define a variable and assign a `value` to it. This clearly refers to a numerical quantity (or computed result) that is assigned to a variable - precisely matching sense 1's definition of "a numerical quantity measured or assigned or computed." The example "the value assigned was 16 milliseconds" even parallels the programming assignment operation described in the context.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the best sense of "value" in this sentence.

The sentence is: "=: It is used to define a variable <t>value</t>."

This appears to be documentation about a programming language or mathematical notation system. The context shows that "=" is used to define a variable and assign a "value" to it.

In this context, "value" refers to a numerical quantity or some computational result that is assigned to a variable. This is about assigning a specific computational/numerical quantity to a variable.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=value%1:09:00:: | definition=a numerical quantity measured or assigned or computed | examples=the value assigned was 16 milliseconds
   - This fits perfectly! In programming, when you define a variable, you assign a value (numerical quantity) to it. The example even mentions "the value assigned was 16 milliseconds" which matches the programming context.

2. sense_key=value%1:07:00:: | definition=the quality (positive or negative) that renders something desirable or valuable
   - Not relevant to the programming context

3. sense_key=value%1:21:00:: | definition=the amount (of money or goods or services) that is considered to be a fair equivalent for something else
   - Not relevant

4. sense_key=value%1:07:01:: | definition=relative darkness or lightness of a color
   - Not relevant

5. sense_key=value%1:28:00:: | definition=(music) the relative duration of a musical note
   - Not relevant

6. sense_key=value%1:09:01:: | definition=an ideal accepted by some individual or group
   - Not relevant to the programming context

The best sense is clearly sense 1, which refers to "a numerical quantity measured or assigned or computed." In the programming context where we're defining a variable with a value, this is exactly what we're doing - assigning a numerical (or computational) quantity to a variable.

The context states "Piecewise is the way we can define conditional operations in kalgebra," where "way" means the manner or method by which something is done. This matches sense 1 (how something is done or how it happens), with synonyms like "manner" and "mode" that fit perfectly in this technical explanation.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to find the best sense for "way" in this sentence:

"Piecewise is the <t>way</t> we can define conditional operations in kalgebra."

The sentence is explaining that "Piecewise is the way we can define conditional operations" - it's saying that Piecewise is the method/manner/approach for defining conditional operations.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "how something is done or how it happens" (manner, mode, style, fashion) - This fits! It's saying Piecewise is the manner/method of defining conditional operations.

2. "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" (means, agency) - This could also work, as it's about how something is achieved.

3. "a line leading to a place or point" (direction) - No, this is about physical direction.

4. "the condition of things generally" - No, not about condition.

5. "a course of conduct" (path, way of life) - Could fit, but less specific than sense 1.

6. "any artifact consisting of a road or path" - No, physical path.

7. "a journey or passage" - No, not about a journey.

8. "space for movement" (room, elbow room) - No, not about space.

9. "the property of distance in general" - No, about distance.

10. "doing as one pleases or chooses" - No, not relevant.

11. "a general category of things; used in the expression `in the way of'" - No, not how the word is used here.

12. "a portion of something divided into shares" - No, not relevant.

The best fit is sense 1 "how something is done or how it happens" with synonyms "manner, mode, style, fashion". The sentence is saying Piecewise is the manner/method in which we can define conditional operations.
The answer is sense 1.

The context describes specifying how conditional operations work in kalgebra, which aligns with sense 5: "decide upon or fix definitely." The synonyms (specify, set, determine, fix, limit) and examples (fix the variables; specify the parameters) are particularly relevant to this programming/mathematical context where "define" means to establish or specify the behavior of conditional operations.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "define" here.

The context is about a mathematical/programming language (kalgebra). The specific sentence is:
"Piecewise is the way we can define conditional operations in kalgebra."

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. "determine the essential quality of" - synonyms: specify, delineate, delimit
2. "give a definition for the meaning of a word" - examples: Define 'sadness'
3. "determine the nature of" - examples: What defines a good wine?
4. "show the form or outline of" - examples: The tree was clearly defined by the light
5. "decide upon or fix definitely" - synonyms: specify, set, determine, fix, limit - examples: fix the variables; specify the parameters

In the context, "define conditional operations" means to establish or specify what conditional operations are. This is about specifying or determining how these operations work.

Sense 2 is clearly not right - this isn't about giving a definition for a word.

Sense 4 is about showing the form or outline, which doesn't fit.

Sense 3 is about determining the nature of something, which could work but seems a bit off.

Senses 1 and 5 both seem plausible:
- Sense 1: "determine the essential quality of" - could mean to specify what makes conditional operations what they are
- Sense 5: "decide upon or fix definitely" with examples like "fix the variables; specify the parameters" - this seems most aligned with the programming context where we're specifying/fixing parameters

The examples for sense 5 ("fix the variables; specify the parameters") are particularly relevant to the programming/mathematical context. In this context, when we "define conditional operations," we're essentially specifying/fixing what they do.

I think sense 5 is the best fit because it includes "specify" and "fix" as synonyms, and the examples about fixing variables and specifying parameters align well with the programming/mathematical nature of the sentence.

The context describes "conditional operations" in kalgebra, where operations depend on whether a condition is true or false. This matches sense 2: "imposing or depending on or containing a condition." The documentation explicitly explains that the operation uses the condition "only if it is true," indicating the operation depends on satisfying the condition.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "conditional" is being used.

The context is from technical documentation about kalgebra (a mathematical expression calculator). The relevant part is:

"Piecewise is the way we can define conditional operations in kalgebra. If we introduce the condition before the? it will use this condition only if it is true, if it finds a? without any condition, it will enter in the last instance."

This is talking about "conditional operations" - operations that depend on whether a condition is true or not.

Let me examine the two candidate senses:

1. sense_key=conditional%5:00:00:qualified:02 | definition=qualified by reservations
   - This would mean something like "qualified" or "restricted by reservations"
   - This doesn't fit the context well

2. sense_key=conditional%3:00:00:: | definition=imposing or depending on or containing a condition | examples=conditional acceptance of the terms; lent conditional support
   - This means something that imposes, depends on, or contains a condition
   - The examples show conditional acceptance and conditional support - both depending on conditions
   - In the context, "conditional operations" means operations that depend on whether a condition is true
   - This fits perfectly

The second sense is clearly the correct one. In the context of programming and mathematics, "conditional operations" refers to operations that depend on or are contingent upon a condition being true.

The answer should be sense index 2.

The context describes "conditional operations" in a computer algebra system (kalgebra). The passage is discussing mathematical/computational processes - specifically how to define conditional calculations. Sense 10 (mathematics - calculation by mathematical methods) best fits this usage, as "operations" here refers to mathematical operations and calculations that can be performed conditionally.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "operations" in this sentence.

The context is about a mathematical/computer algebra system (kalgebra) where "operations" refers to "conditional operations" - specifically the ability to define things conditionally using the Piecewise construct.

Looking at the full sentence: "Piecewise is the way we can define conditional operations in kalgebra."

This is about performing conditional logical/mathematical operations in a computer algebra system.

Let me go through the senses:

1. sense_key=operation%1:26:00:: - "the state of being in effect" - Not a good fit
2. sense_key=operation%1:04:06:: - "a business" - Not relevant
3. sense_key=operation%1:04:03:: - "a planned activity involving many people" - Not relevant
4. sense_key=operation%1:22:00:: - "(computer science) data processing in which the result is completely specified by a rule (especially the processing that results from a single instruction)" - This could fit, it's about data processing/computation
5. sense_key=operation%1:04:02:: - "military operation" - Not relevant
6. sense_key=operation%1:04:00:: - "medical procedure" - Not relevant
7. sense_key=operation%1:04:05:: - "a process or series of acts especially of a practical or mechanical nature" - Could fit
8. sense_key=operation%1:22:01:: - "process or manner of functioning or operating" - Could fit
9. sense_key=operation%1:09:00:: - "(psychology) cognitive operation" - Less likely
10. sense_key=operation%1:04:01:: - "(mathematics) calculation by mathematical methods" - This could fit well since it's a math context
11. sense_key=operation%1:04:07:: - "the activity of operating something" - Could fit

Since this is specifically about mathematical operations within a computer algebra system, the mathematical sense (10) appears most fitting. The computer science sense (4) is also relevant given the computational context, but the phrase "conditional operations" in a mathematical system points more directly toward mathematical calculation and manipulation.
