Program temporary fix

Hey kiddo! Do you remember when we had to fix your toy car because one of the wheels broke off? Well, there's something similar that happens with computer programs called a "bug". Just like a toy car, programs can have parts that don't work properly or that cause the whole program to crash.

When a bug is found, the developers usually work on a permanent fix that will prevent it from happening again in the future. But sometimes, people need a quick solution to keep the program running until the permanent fix is ready. This is where the "Program Temporary Fix" or PTF comes in.

A PTF is like a band-aid for a program. It's a small piece of code that is added to the program to fix a specific problem. This band-aid is designed to work only for a limited time and will be removed once the permanent fix is ready.

But why not just use the band-aid forever? Well, just like a band-aid can only stay on your skin for so long before it falls off, a PTF can only stay in a program for so long without causing new problems. That's why it's important to replace a PTF with a permanent fix as soon as possible.

So, in summary, a Program Temporary Fix is a temporary solution added to a program to fix a specific problem while the developers work on a permanent fix. It's like a band-aid and will be removed once the permanent fix is ready.
