Huh. I thought the definition was going to have something to do with the efficacy of the democratic party these days… using macs… or something…

idempotent
adj : unchanged in value following multiplication by itself; “this matrix is idempotent”
that’s a bit clearer…

i guess i meant that i vaguely understand the mathematical definition, but i have no clue how the page i linked to meant to be using it.

Idempotent means the operation that yield the same result after the operation is applied multiple times.. u can see the word in Java Servlet..
