A report is a loud noise intended for the main effect from a pyrotechnic unit or a firework. The effect from the report is usually achieved by confining flash powder. Reports are effects from fireworks such as multishot boxed items, aerial shells, crackers, and maroons. The noise of a gun is also called a report.
In computing, a report is a particular part of a program that is able to create a representation of the state of the program in a readable format. The concept overlaps with serialization however a report is usually intended to be a human-readable representation whereas a serialized program is usually intended to be read by another program (or the same program at a later time). The Encyclopedia of Computing Terms says that the terms report file, report generator, report format and report writer are also used to describe the creation of a report.
