This isunquestionably the case; but there is much less chance of error, and likewise far lessexpenditure of time and labour, where operations only, and the distribution of theseoperations, have to be made out, than where explicit numerical results are to beattained.”Despite Lady Lovelace’s assessment, errors in software (i.e. today’s equivalent ofcards that give wrong orders) have become a predominant concern in software devel-opment and software engineering.
