(1) In word processing and scientific notation, a digit or symbol that appears below the line; for example, H2O, the symbol for water. Contrast with superscript.
(2) In programming, a method for referencing data in a table. For example, in pricetable, the statement to reference a specific price in the table might be pricetable (item), ITEM being the subscript variable. In a two-dimensional table that includes price and discount, the statement pricetable (item,discount) could reference a discounted price. The relative locations of the current ITEM and DISCOUNT are kept in two index registers.
