In most contexts, operations are functions. A function is a relationship between an input set (1 or more) and potential output.

An operation is usually said to be unary (1 input. For example: negative, square, square root, or factorial) or binary (2 inputs. For example: add, subtract, multiply, divide, or modulo).

Typically the term operation is reserved for calculations that are axiomatic, whereas functions are composites of operations.

In computer programming languages the distinction is typically only symbolic.
