|
||
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).
