How to use "Constraints" in context?
Constraints are the boundaries imposed by the environment or other factors on what a machine or system can do. In the world of computing, constraints can come in the form of hard (physical) limitations (such as the size of memory), mathematical limitations (such as the size of a number that can be used in a calculation), or technological limitations (such as the speed at which a device can handle input or output).
Because computing is such a broad and varied field, constraints can be applied in different ways.
