👉 "Strictly" is a term used in mathematics and computer science, specifically within the field of algorithm design. In this context, "strictly" refers to an algorithm that strictly follows certain constraints or rules, without allowing any exceptions or deviations from those rules. For example, if we are designing an algorithm for a specific task, such as sorting a list of integers, it is important to ensure that all elements in the list are distinct and sorted in ascending order. This means that no element can
