👉 Deferentially is a phrase used in computer science and programming to describe the process of performing operations on data that are not immediately visible or accessible, but rather require additional processing or manipulation before they can be executed. This approach allows for more efficient use of computational resources by avoiding unnecessary computations. For example, consider a program that needs to calculate the factorial of a number n. If the program starts executing without any computation, it will simply execute the loop until it reaches the base case (n =
