aborts

In computing, an "abort" is an event where a process or program stops unexpectedly due to an error or issue, preventing it from completing its task. This can happen for various reasons, such as invalid data, hardware problems, or software bugs. When an abort occurs, the system typically halts the current operation to prevent further errors or damage. Essentially, it’s the system’s way of recognizing a problem and stopping to avoid unpredictable results, allowing for troubleshooting or recovery before proceeding.
