WHAT DOES IDEMPOTENT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Idempotence

Idempotence (/ˌaɪdɨmˈpoʊtəns/ EYE-dəm-POH-təns) is the property of certain operations in mathematics and computer science, that can be applied multiple times without changing the result beyond the initial application. The concept of idempotence arises in a number of places in abstract algebra (in particular, in the theory of projectors and closure operators) and functional programming (in which it is connected to the property of referential transparency). The request methods of the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) computer protocol are a common example of idempotence, in that data retrieval operations can be performed without changing or otherwise affecting the data. The term was introduced by Benjamin Peirce in the context of elements of algebras that remain invariant when raised to a positive integer power, and literally means "(the quality of having) the same power", from idem + potence (same + power).
