Code Sample

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. A short example of code intended to demonstrate usage, patterns, or correct integration with a library, API, or feature. Good code samples are realistic enough to teach the important parts without dragging in unrelated complexity.

    In plain English: An example snippet of code meant to show how something works.

    Example: "The docs improved dramatically once each authentication mode had a minimal code sample showing request setup, error handling, and token refresh."
