code

Instructions for a computer in some programming

language, often {machine language}. The word "code" is often

used to distinguish instructions from {data} (e.g. "The code

is marked 'read-only'") whereas "{software}" is used in

contrast with "{hardware}" and may consist of more than just

code.
