10-letter words that end in ode
- aiken code — (data) An alternative form of the Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) system for encoding numbers. Where BCD encodes each decimal digit in normal binary, Aiken code uses the encoding shown below. This is supposed to be less prone to corruption. The following table shows the encoding of each decimal digit, D, in BCD and Aiken code: D BCD Aiken 0 0000 0000 1 0001 0001 2 0010 0010 3 0011 0011 4 0100 0100 5 0101 1011 (inverted 4) 6 0110 1100 (inverted 3) 7 0111 1101 (inverted 2) 8 1000 1110 (inverted 1) 9 1001 1111 (inverted 0) The Aiken code was probably designed by Howard Aiken in the 1940s or 1950s for use in data transmission. Compare: Gray code.
- batch mode — computer processing in which commands are input from a batch file, not interactively
- black code — any code of law that defined and especially limited the rights of former slaves after the Civil War.
- color-code — to use specific colors, according to a code, for wires, switches, cards, files, etc.
- death code — A routine whose job is to set everything in the computer - registers, memory, flags - to zero, including that portion of memory where it is running; its last act is to stomp on its own "store zero" instruction. Death code isn't very useful, but writing it is an interesting hacking challenge on architectures where the instruction set makes it possible, such as the PDP-8 or the Data General Nova. Perhaps the ultimate death code is on the TI 990 series, where all registers are actually in RAM, and the instruction "store immediate 0" has the opcode 0. The program counter will immediately wrap around core as many times as it can until a user hits HALT. Any empty memory location is death code. Worse, the manufacturer recommended use of this instruction in startup code (which would be in ROM and therefore survive).
- discommode — to cause inconvenience to; disturb, trouble, or bother.
- dress code — a set of rules specifying the garb or type of clothing to be worn by a group or by people under specific circumstances: a military dress code; The restaurant's dress code requires men to wear jackets and ties at dinner.

- jenga code — (humour, programming) A style of programming which results in the whole thing collapsing when you touch a single block of code. Named after the game where players try to remove wooden blocks from a tower without it falling down. Also known as Crispy Noodle Code.

- photodiode — a photosensitive semiconductor diode.
- pistillode — a sterile pistil, or one with a simple structure and reduced size and function
- pseudocode — a program code unrelated to the hardware of a particular computer and requiring conversion to the code used by the computer before the program can be used.
- short code — (language) (SHORTCODE) A pseudocode interpreter for mathematics problems, designed by John Mauchly in 1949 to execute on Eckert and Mauchly's BINAC and later on UNIVAC I and II. Short Code was possibly the first attempt at a high level language.
- sinus node — sinoatrial node.
- south node — the descending node of the moon.
- stock code — an abbreviation that identifies a particular security on a stock-quotation machine
