Implementation

Definitions

1. The concrete realization of a design, specification, or interface in working code. In OOP, a class 'implements' an interface by providing method bodies; more broadly, implementation is the phase where plans become functioning software.

   In plain English: The actual code that makes a design or idea work in practice — turning a plan on a whiteboard into software that runs.

   Example: "The spec looked clean on paper, but the implementation uncovered a dozen edge cases nobody thought about."
