1. Precondition

   In computer programming, a precondition is a condition or predicate that must always be true just prior to the execution of some section of code or before an operation in a formal specification. If a precondition is violated, the effect of the section of code becomes undefined and thus may or may not carry out its intended work. Security problems can arise due to incorrect preconditions. Often, preconditions are simply included in the documentation of the affected section of code. Preconditions are sometimes tested using guards or assertions within the code itself, and some languages have specific syntactic constructions for doing so. For example: the factorial is only defined for integers greater than or equal to zero. So a program that calculates the factorial of an input number would have preconditions that the number be an integer and that it be greater than or equal to zero.

1. precondition

   A precondition is a condition or criteria that must be met before a specific process or operation can occur or a specific action is taken. It is usually used in the context of computer programming, relating to the state of the program before a specific function is executed. However, it can also be used in broader contexts to refer to requirements that must be fulfilled before proceeding with a particular course of action.
