built-ins

Recessed storage units

Built-ins are permanent features or fixtures that are constructed as part of a structure rather than added later as freestanding pieces.

Kitchen cabinets, bookshelves recessed into walls, and closet systems are typical built-ins that maximize space and create a unified look.

In programming, built-ins refer to functions, methods, or objects that come pre-installed with a language rather than requiring separate libraries: Python's built-in print function handles most output needs.
