Term used to describe three periods that are together ().
In English the ellipsis is often used as an indication to show
any omitted word or other text. You'll often see an ellipsis in
file names and commands on a computer to indicate the full file
name or command is not being displayed. For example, a file
named "Computer Hope" may be displayed as "Compute..." because
the column the file name is being
displayed in is not wide enough to display the full file name.
- Additional information about inserting a ellipsis into a
word processor such as Microsoft Word can be found on
document CH000886.
In computer programming a two (..) or three (...) ellipsis is
often used to specify a range. For example, in the below
Perl example "Hello World!" would be
printed 20 times.

#!/usr/bin/perl
foreach (1...20) {
print "Hello World!\n";
}
