Code Block

Definitions

1. A grouped section of code treated as a single structured unit, usually delimited by braces, indentation, or other language syntax. Code blocks define scopes, control flow bodies, and logical grouping in most programming languages.

   In plain English: A grouped section of code that belongs together as one unit.

   Example: "The bug came from a missing brace that caused the conditional code block to include only the first line instead of the entire validation path."
