What is garbage in, garbage out (GIGO)?
Garbage in, garbage out, or GIGO, refers to the idea that in any system, the quality of output is determined by the quality of the input. For example, if a mathematical equation is improperly stated, the answer is unlikely to be correct. Similarly, if incorrect
data is used as input into a computer
program, the output is unlikely to be correct or informative.
Garbage in, garbage out is how the quality of system output is determined by the quality of input. Explore history, examples, types and more on the subject.
