Detailed explanation-1: -A software bug is an error, flaw or fault in the design, development, or operation of computer software that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result, or to behave in unintended ways.
Detailed explanation-2: -In computer technology, a bug is a coding error in a computer program. (We consider a program to also include the microcode that is manufactured into a microprocessor.) The process of finding bugs–before users do–is called debugging.
Detailed explanation-3: -It was used by technicians before the emergence of computers. But still why a computer bug? Probably because in 1947, computer programmer Grace Hopper and her team found a bug – a real moth, lying in a relay of Harvard University’s Mark II electromechanical computer.
