Verification is checking if something works the way it’s supposed to, just like making sure your favorite toy does what you expect it to do.
Imagine you have a red button on your toy robot, and every time you press it, the robot dances. That’s how it should work. But one day, when you press the red button, the robot doesn’t dance, it just sits there. That means something isn’t working right, and you need to figure out why.
Like a Playground Check
Think of verification like playing on a swing set. You know that if you push the swing, it should go higher. But if one day you push it and it barely moves, that’s a clue something might be wrong, maybe the chains are loose or someone is holding the seat!
Verification is just like that check, making sure everything does what it's supposed to do, so you can keep having fun. Verification is checking if something works the way it’s supposed to, just like making sure your favorite toy does what you expect it to do.
