15 Pieces Of Advice To Accept Or Ignore

According to its dictionary definition, the word “advice” has a number of different meanings:

• The word can have a specific meaning related to legal advice. Which is the giving of a formal and binding opinion regarding the substance or procedure of the law.
• In constitutional law, advice is a binding instruction issued to a constitutional office-holder.
• In the world of computer programming, advice is a technical term when a join point is reached when a piece of code is executed.
• Advice has another technical meaning in complexity theory. It is a string with extra information used by a Turing machine or other computing device.
