sample code

Demonstration programming excerpt

Sample code is example programming code provided to demonstrate how something works—a feature, function, or technique.

Developers consult sample code to understand how to implement similar functionality in their own projects: The documentation includes sample code for authentication.

It's meant to be studied and adapted rather than used verbatim in production.
