Definition
变换 (biànhuàn) means to change or vary something deliberately, often by switching between options (methods, patterns, strategies). Unlike 转变 (zhuǎnbiàn, a change in direction/attitude) or 转换 (zhuǎnhuàn, converting from one form to another), 变换 emphasizes alternating or varying within a set of possibilities.
