Question:

QUESTION: What was the Y2K bug, and how was it addressed?

Answer:

The Y2K bug, also known as the "Millennium Bug," was a computer programming issue related to the way dates were represented in software. It was feared that when the year 2000 arrived, computers might interpret it as 1900, causing system failures. Extensive testing and remediation efforts were undertaken worldwide to address the issue, and the transition to the year 2000 occurred without major problems.
