  • PRODUCTION CODE: software running on production servers to handle live users and data of the intended audience. Note this is different from production quality code , which describes code that meets expectations in reliability, efficiency, etc., for production. Ideally, all code in production meets these expectations, but this is not always the case.
  • CLEAN: readable, simple, and concise. A characteristic of production quality code that is crucial for collaboration and maintainability in software development.
  • MODULAR: logically broken up into functions and modules. Also an important characteristic of production quality code that makes your code more organized, efficient, and reusable.
  • MODULE: a file. Modules allow code to be reused by encapsulating them into files that can be imported into other files.
