Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Lookahead

👉 In computer science, "lookahead" is a concept used in algorithms to optimize certain operations. This concept is particularly useful when dealing with recursive functions or when the output of one function can be used as an input for another function. Imagine you have a recursive function that calculates a value by calling itself repeatedly until it reaches a base case (like a "breakpoint" or "halt"). The idea behind lookahead optimization is to avoid this infinite loop and instead use the output of one call as the input
