GIGO ♻️

GIGO is a computer science acronym that implies bad input will result in bad output, which stands for :

Garbage in 🗑
Garbage Out 🚮

🔸🔹🔸🔹

Because computers operate using strict logic, invalid input may produce unrecognizable output, or "garbage."

For example, if a program asks for an integer and you enter a string, you may get an unexpected result. ❌

Good programming practice dictates that ✅ :
"Functions should check for valid input before processing it."


A well-written program will avoid producing garbage by not accepting it in the first place.☝🏻

Requiring valid input also helps programs avoid errors that can cause crashes and other erratic behavior. ⚡️
