Code is a structured system of symbols, signs, or written instructions used to represent information or commands in a precise, machine-readable or interpretable form. In computing, it refers to the text written in programming languages that tells computers and devices what to do, forming the basis of software, websites, and applications. More generally, it can also mean a system of rules or conventions, such as a set of laws, ethical guidelines, or secret messages. Code aims to express complex operations or meanings in a compact, clear, and often standardized way to ensure consistency and correct execution.
