GIGO ( Eng. Garbage In, Garbage Out , “Garbage at the entrance - garbage at the exit” ) is a principle in computer science , meaning that if the input data is incorrect, incorrect results will be obtained, even if the algorithm itself is correct. This word is practically not used in Russian, unlike FIFO ( English First In, First Out ).
In Russian-speaking culture, the analogue of the principle is the expression "What you sow, you will reap."
Typically, this expression is used in relation to computer programs , but can also be used to describe human errors caused by a lack, inaccuracy, or false input.
