What are edge cases and limitations?

Edge cases and limitations are like special situations that a rule or tool might not handle very well, kind of like when your favorite toy doesn’t work exactly as you expect in some strange situations.

Imagine you have a super cool slide at the park. Most of the time, it works perfectly, you run up and zoom down. But what happens if you try to go down while someone else is going up? That’s an edge case: a situation that's not typical but still possible, and might cause problems.

Limitations are like rules your toy has that it can’t break, even if you really want it to. For example, maybe the slide only works for kids under 10, or it can't handle more than two people at once. That’s a limitation: something the tool or rule just can’t do no matter how hard you try.

Understanding edge cases and limitations helps us be ready for when things don’t go exactly as planned, just like knowing your toy's rules makes playtime even more fun!
