How Does Feedback (OFB) Work?

Feedback (OFB) is like having a special friend who helps you remember things by repeating them back to you.

Imagine you're playing a game where you have to say a sentence out loud, and your friend listens carefully and then repeats it exactly as they heard it. Then you listen to what your friend said and repeat that, and so on. Each time, the sentence stays the same, but it's like it's being passed along in a chain.

Feedback (OFB) works similarly in technology. It uses something called feedback, which is like that helpful friend who repeats things back to you. Instead of saying sentences, computers use numbers or codes. The feedback takes part of the message and repeats it back, just like your friend did, so the next part can be created based on what was repeated.

This helps keep messages accurate even if there are little mistakes along the way. It’s like having a team of friends who make sure every word gets said right, one after another, all day long!
