Golf

In computer science, "Golf" refers to the practice of code golfing, which is a form of recreational programming where the objective is to write the shortest possible code to achieve a specific task or solve a problem. The term is borrowed from the sport of golf, where players aim to complete the course with the fewest strokes. In code golfing, the length of the source code, typically measured in bytes or characters, is the primary criterion, and programmers often use clever techniques, shortcuts, and language-specific features to minimize their code length. This practice often prioritizes creativity and deep understanding of language features, leading to unconventional and innovative solutions.
