Bug

Definitions

1. An error, flaw, or unintended behavior in software that causes it to produce incorrect results or behave unexpectedly — famously named after a literal moth found in a Harvard Mark II relay in 1947.

   In plain English: A mistake in code that makes a program do something wrong or crash, like a typo that sends users to the wrong page.

   Example: "The bug turned out to be an off-by-one error in the loop boundary — classic."
