In mathematics, particularly in the fields of geometry and topology, an "orthant" refers to a generalization of quadrants in higher-dimensional spaces. Specifically, it denotes a portion of a Cartesian coordinate system, defined by the signs of the coordinates. For example, in a two-dimensional space (2D), the space is divided into four quadrants based on the signs of the x and y coordinates.
