9-letter words containing code

  • area code — The area code for a particular city or region is the series of numbers that you have to dial before someone's personal number if you are making a telephone call to that place from a different area.
  • autocoder — (language)   Possibly the first primitive compiler. AUTOCODER was written by Alick E. Glennie in 1952. It translated symbolic statements into machine language for the Manchester Mark I computer. Autocoding later came to be a generic term for assembly language programming.
  • byte-code — (file format, software)   A binary file containing an executable program, consisting of a sequence of (op code, data) pairs. Byte-code op codes are most often fixed size bit patterns, but can be variable size. The data portion consists of zero or more bits whose format typically depends on the op code. A byte-code program is interpreted by a byte-code interpreter. The advantage of this technique compared with outputing machine code for some particular processor is that the same byte-code can be executed on any processor on which the byte-code interpreter runs. The byte-code may be compiled to machine code ("native code") for speed of execution but this usually requires significantly greater effort for each new taraget architecture than simply porting the interpreter. For example, Java is compiled to byte-code which runs on the Java Virtual Machine.
  • cacodemon — an evil spirit or devil
  • city code — (in Britain) short for City Code on Takeovers and Mergers: a code laid down in 1968 (later modified) to control takeover bids and mergers
  • code blue — (often initial capital letters) a medical emergency in which paramedics are dispatched to aid a person undergoing cardiac arrest.
  • code book — a book containing a list of code signals with their meanings, usually arranged alphabetically.
  • code flag — a flag forming part of a signal code.
  • code name — A code name is a name used for someone or something in order to keep their identity secret.
  • code walk — (programming)   Stepping through source code as part of a code review. Where a code walk probably only follows the potential control flow of a program, a dry run is a more detailed manual execution of a program that also keeps track of the value of every variable involved.
  • code word — A code word is a word or phrase that has a special meaning, different from its normal meaning, for the people who have agreed to use it in this way.
  • code-name — to assign a code name to.
  • codenamed — Simple past tense and past participle of codename.
  • codenames — Plural form of codename.
  • codeshare — (aviation) Agreement whereby an airline buys space on another airline and markets the extra space as its own. Often used to increase a route network without the costs of running a full service.
  • codevelop — to develop jointly
  • codewords — Plural form of codeword.
  • dead code — (programming)   (Or "infeasible path", "grunge") Any part of a program that can never be accessed because all calls to it have been removed, or because it is guarded by a control structure that provably must always transfer control somewhere else. The presence of dead code may reveal either logical errors due to alterations in the program or significant changes in the assumptions and environment of the program (see also software rot); a good compiler should report dead code so a maintainer can think about what it means. Sometimes it simply means that an *extremely* defensive programmer has inserted can't happen tests which really can't happen - yet. Synonym grunge.
  • gray code — (hardware)   A binary sequence with the property that only one bit changes between any two consecutive elements (the two codes have a Hamming distance of one). The Gray code originated when digital logic circuits were built from vacuum tubes and electromechanical relays. Counters generated tremendous power demands and noise spikes when many bits changed at once. E.g. when incrementing a register containing 11111111, the back-EMF from the relays' collapsing magnetic fields required copious noise suppression. Using Gray code counters, any increment or decrement changed only one bit, regardless of the size of the number. Gray code can also be used to convert the angular position of a disk to digital form. A radial line of sensors reads the code off the surface of the disk and if the disk is half-way between two positions each sensor might read its bit from both positions at once but since only one bit differs between the two, the value read is guaranteed to be one of the two valid values rather than some third (invalid) combination (a glitch). One possible algorithm for generating a Gray code sequence is to toggle the lowest numbered bit that results in a new code each time. Here is a four bit Gray code sequence generated in this way: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 The codes were patented in 1953 by Frank Gray, a Bell Labs researcher.
  • iconicode — 1990-1992. Visual dataflow language, token-based with hierarchical, recursive and iterative constructs. Version: IDF with extensions for image processing.
  • macrocode — a single code that contains a set of instructions.
  • microcode — one or more microinstructions.
  • mimencode — (Originally distributed as "mmencode"). A replacement for uuencode for use in electronic mail and news. Part of MIME. uuencode uses characters that don"t translate well across all mail gateways (particularly those which convert between ASCII and EBCDIC). Also, different variants of uuencode encode data in different and incompatible ways, with no standard. Finally, few uuencode variants work well in a pipe. Mimencode implements the encodings which were defined for MIME as uuencode replacements, and should be considerably more robust for e-mail use. Written by Nathaniel S. Borenstein of Bell Communications Research, Inc. (Bellcore) in 1991.
  • nicodemus — a Pharisee and member of the Sanhedrin who became a secret follower of Jesus. John 3:1–21; 7:50–52; 19:39.
  • placoderm — any of various extinct jawed fishes of the class Placodermi, dominant in seas and rivers during the Devonian Period and characterized by bony armored plates on the head and upper trunk.
  • sort code — branch number of a bank
  • time code — (on video or audio tape) a separate track on which time references are continually recorded in digital form as an aid to editing
  • transcode — (language)   An early system on the Ferut computer.
