Definition
运算 (yùn suàn) means 'to perform (mathematical) calculations' or 'to carry out an operation' — it is used for arithmetic, algorithmic, or computational operations. It differs from 推算 (tuī suàn, 'to calculate by inference / extrapolate'), which focuses on deriving a result from known data or assumptions rather than executing a defined procedure. 运算 is common in math, programming, and engineering contexts.
