There is no way to be sure that a programme is bug free. There just isn't beyond a certain degree of complexity. And for that reason, we as computer programmers try to fail gracefully when we design computing systems. N so this is my first a issue here is that, although there are some computer science applications where you can't go back in time, right? If you write a program of a logic control or routine that controls the cooling system for a nuclear reactor, there is a certain point beyond which that programis malfunctioning and cannot be unwound. Right? It's a terrible idea. We just that is, like everything that we know about computer security starts from the idea
