What are some effective data validation techniques?

Effective data validation techniques include input validation, format checks, range checks, and consistency checks.

Can you explain input validation in more detail?

Input validation ensures that the data entered meets specific criteria, like type, length, and format, before processing.

What is the difference between format checks and range checks?

Format checks verify that data follows a specific pattern (like email format), while range checks ensure values fall within a defined range.

How can I implement these techniques in my application?

You can implement these techniques using programming languages' built-in functions or libraries that support data validation.
