What is meant by the term "Garbage-In-Garbage-Out" (GIGO) in the context of computers?

  • A.Errors caused due to slow processing
  • B.Errors caused due to incorrect input or unreliable programs
  • C.Errors due to lack of storage
  • D.Errors caused by outdated software

Answer: B

GIGO means errors caused due to incorrect input or unreliable programs.

Garbage In, Garbage Out is the principle that a computer processes exactly what it is given. If the input data is wrong or the program's logic is faulty, the output will be wrong too, however fast or accurate the machine itself is.

Slow processing, lack of storage and outdated software can cause other problems, but they are not what GIGO describes. The term is about the quality of what goes in, not the speed, capacity or age of the system.
