In science, formulation and testing of [|hypotheses] is based on trial and error, in computer science also called //generate and test//, and in [|elementary algebra], when solving certain equations, called //guess and check//. Learning and optimization methods such as genetic algorithms, simulated annealing and reinforcement learning also apply trial and error methods. In general, trial and error makes no attempt to discover why a solution works, but that it is a solution. A further application related to computer chess is to find factors for the application of Magic Bitboards with spare populated, but otherwise randomly chosen numbers. ||
