If a line segment touches two points on the circle it is called as:
1. secant; if the line extends outside the circle.
2. chord; if the line is present only within the circle.
Diameter is a line which satisfies the second condition hence it is a chord.
The additional condition for a chord to be known as diameter is that the chord should pass through the center of the circle!
