The codomain of a function is its specified target set. The image of a function is a subset of the codomain, and equals it precisely for a surjective function. Changing a codomain can change whether the same input-output rule is surjective, as the quadratic function examples under function show.
In mathematics, particularly in the field of set theory and functions, the **codomain** refers to the set of all possible outputs of a function.
