    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_in,_garbage_out

    In computer science, garbage in, garbage out (GIGO) is the concept that flawed, biased or poor quality ("garbage") information or input produces a result or output of similar ("garbage") quality. The adage points to the need to improve data quality in, for example, programming. Rubbish in, rubbish out (RIRO) is an alternate wording. [1] [2] [3]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_(computer_science)

    The problem of managing the deallocation of garbage is well-known in computer science. Several approaches are taken: Many operating systems reclaim the memory and resources used by a process or program when it terminates. Simple or short-lived programs which are designed to run in such environments can exit and allow the operating system to ...
