what is cheating?

Cheating is a broad term that encompasses a variety of behaviours intended to circumvent restrictions in order to gain unfair benefits. This encompasses bribery, cronyism, and nepotism in any situation where people are given preferential treatment based on erroneous criteria. The rules that have been broken may be stated or come from an unwritten code of conduct based on morality, ethics, or habit, making detecting cheating behaviour a subjective procedure. Infidelity can be referred to as cheating. In British English, someone who is notorious for cheating is referred to as a cheat, but in American English, it is referred to as a cheater. A "cheat" isn't necessarily someone who cheats all of the time, but rather someone who cheats on a regular basis.
