👉 Tick-tocking is a term used in the field of engineering and computer science to describe an algorithm or system that repeatedly performs the same action, such as toggling a switch or changing a circuit, over and over again. This repetitive behavior can be represented by a series of ticks (or pulses) being emitted at regular intervals. Tick-tocking is often used in systems where there are a large number of operations that need to be performed repeatedly, such as updating a database or sending data packets
