GIGO

GIGO stands for “Garbage In, Garbage Out.” It is a slang term that is often used in the context of computer systems and programming. It means that if you input bad or incorrect data into a system, you will obtain equally bad or incorrect results.

Examples:

1.

A: “Why is the final calculation showing such strange results?”
B: “Well, you entered incorrect values for the variables, so it’s GIGO. The output will be inaccurate if the input is wrong.”

2.

A: “I gave the computer all the necessary data, but the output still doesn’t make any sense.”
B: “Check your inputs again. Remember, it’s GIGO. If the input is garbage, you’ll get garbage as output.”
