👉 Truncation, also known as truncation, is a process in computer science where data is reduced to its smallest possible form by removing unnecessary bits or characters. It is often used in algorithms for reducing memory footprint and improving performance, especially when dealing with large datasets. Truncation can be useful in scenarios such as converting binary strings into decimal numbers, removing leading zeros from integers, or reducing the size of a string or array to fit within a fixed-size buffer.
