7. (Computers) The set of instructions for a computer program
written by a programmer, usually in a programming language
such as Fortran, C, Cobol, Java, C++, etc.; also, the
executable binary object code. All such programs except
for the binary object code must be converted by a

arrangement of data bits which can be directly interpreted
by a computer.
[PJC]
Code civil or Code Napoleon, a code enacted in France in
1803 and 1804, embodying the law of rights of persons and

error-correcting code (Computers) A set of symbols used to
represent blocks of binary data, in which the original
block of data is represented by a larger block of data
which includes additional bits arranged in such a way that
the original data may be read even if one or more of the
bits of the encoded data is changed, as in a noisy
communicaiton channel. Various codes are available which
can correct different numbers or patterns of errors in the
transmitted data. Such codes are used to achieve higher
accuracy in data transmission, and in data storage devices
such as disk drives and tape drives.
object code (Computers) the arrangement of bits stored in
computer memory or a data storage device which, when fed
to the instruction processor of a computer's central
processing unit, can be interpreted directly as
instructions for execution.
genetic code (Biochemistry, genetics) The set of
correspondences between sequences of three bases (codons)
in a RNA chain to the amino acid which those three bases
represent in the process of protein synthesis. Thus, the
sequence UUU codes for phenylalanine, and AUG codes for
methionine. There are twenty-one naturally-occurring amino
acids, and sixty-four possible arrangements of three bases
in RNA; thus some of the amino acids are represented by
more than one codon. Several codons do not represent amino
acids, but cause termination of the synthesis of a growing
amnio acid chain.
[1913 Webster +PJC]
Note: The genetic code is represented by the following table:
