👉 In computer science, a "backfiring" is a phenomenon where an algorithm performs some action before it completes its execution. This is known as "the first step of the algorithm." The term is often used in the context of software engineering to describe a situation where an algorithm's behavior is influenced by actions taken during earlier stages of the code. For example, consider a program that reads data from a file and processes it. Before reading the entire file, the program may perform some input validation or
