Code

Also called: coding, programming, source code, writing code, software development, codebase

Exact written instructions that tell a computer what to do, step by step. Writing code means spelling out those steps yourself. Giving a prompt to an AI tool means describing what you want in everyday words and letting the tool write the code.

For example: A developer types the precise rules for working out sales tax. Someone else types 'add sales tax to the checkout' into an AI tool, and the tool writes those rules as code.
