Computers should do what they are told to do.
Lesson 1 in BASIC was to make a computer
PRINT " One + Two = Five "
RETURN
One + Two = Five
There, my computer has a fault ! (Where is the programmer ?)
Even my circular slide rule can tell me how many miles there are in a Kilogramme !
An early computerised N.Atlantic flight plan was much faster than usual. Somewhere 10 Degrees of Longitude had gone missing. ( The 10 Degrees were spotted in good time and replaced.)
