Isn't that just the decimal part? In my mother tongue (Serbo-Croatian) it's common to call this just the decimals - e.g. in 12.34 the decimals would be 34... I'm really surprised that English doesn't have a similar short name for this?
"Normalized". That's what we call data that have been scaled to fit on a tidy axis.
> between 0 and 1 (inclusive) [closed] Why yes.
I heard percentage (0-100), promillage (0-1000, per mille) and perunage (0-1) in school. This was not in an English speaking country. So for me "perunage" sound very logical. "Un" means one in French (cent=100 and mille=1000).
But in the code I'd probably use X_range depending on what 0..1 represents
“mantissa” ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_logarithm#Mantissa_and_... ) comes close, but excludes 1. IEEE 754 sort-of has that as a part of a float, too ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significand ), and people use the term “mantissa” for it, but it has to special-case 0. ⇒ barring better suggestions, I think I would stretch the definition of mantissa a bit further.

While percentages are denoted as numbers between 0-100, they actually represent numbers between 0-1. Though you can have things like 120% so it's not perfect.
> they actually represent numbers between 0-1
Not really. The often represents, for instance, a population of 100M, then 0 means 0, 1 (or 100%) means 100M and 1.2 (or 120%) means 120M (in case of population growth).
