Definition: In the context of computer science, backpelling is a technique used to ensure that all operations on data are properly executed. When performing a computation, programmers might use backtracking or backpropagation techniques to find the optimal solution by repeatedly trying different paths in order to minimize the error caused by mistakes.
For example, if you were working with an algorithm for solving a problem and wanted to find the best path from one node to another, backpelling could be used to ensure that each step is
