 <content>Let $R$ be a binary relation.  Then the set of all $y$ such that $x R y$ for some $x$ is called the \emph{range} of $R$.  That is, the range of $R$ is the set of all second coordinates in the ordered pairs of $R$.

In \PMlinkescapetext{terms} of functions, this means that the range of a function is the full set of values it can take on (the outputs), given the full set of parameters (the inputs).  Note that the range is a subset of the codomain.</content>
