|
|||
|
|
to meet an immediate, transient need. Often written in BASIC, rarely more
|
|||
|
|
than a dozen lines long, and containing no subroutines. The largest amount
|
|||
|
|
of code that can be written off the top of one's head, that does not need
|
|||
|
|
any editing, and that runs correctly the first time (this amount varies
|
|||
|
|
significantly according to one's skill and the language one is using).
