Any one who considers arithmetical methods of producing random digits is, of course, in a state of sin

Dogs are often said to be man's best friends for their unwavering loyalty. As human beings, we thrive on patterns and predictability. On the other hand, our little animal friends can sometimes be irrational and surprise us with their unpredictable behavior. Computers however, these thought-less automatic machines made of metal, would be much better companions.
By their fundamental essence, computers and other similar machines are deterministic. As developers, we simply give them series of instructions, algorithms, functions and other scripts. Their one and only job is to execute our commands, one after the other, sometimes at the same time. An addition is always an addition, a byte is always a byte, and most importantly, a dog is always a dog.

When programming, developers use formal languages to instruct their devices to do particular tasks. Theses languages are designed to be unambiguous and generally explicit about what they describe. To the machine interpreting that written text, only one meaning is possible. "But", you may say, "sometimes there are bugs when I run my program". Of course, bugs are an inherent part of programming, but not because the machine might not understand you, because you explained it wrongly.
Errors and bugs are always caused by the human factor of computer science.#footnote[Notable exceptions are of course hardware failures which are a totally separate kind of issue]
