non-trival
Hello,
1.This is often a non-trivial procedure, and there are a lot of things that can go wrong even if your source code is correct.
What is the meanig of the word "non-trival'? My dictionary has no entry for this word.
Could anybody explain it?

I like what dictionary.com says:
nontrivial adj.
Requiring real thought or significant computing power. Often used as an understated way of saying that a problem is quite difficult or impractical, or even entirely unsolvable ("Proving P=NP is nontrivial").
Having seen the phrase "source code" in your post, I think this definition is within context.

When you see a word with a hyphen, try looking up just one part:
non - trivial = not - trivial. Look up trivial.
The real problem may be your ambivalence about the spelling.
You ask, What is the meanig of the word "non-trival'. I suspect you won't find trival in the dictionary. Did you try trivial? Be careful to look up the
