INTRODUCTION
Library programs are collections of resources used to
develop software. These include pre-written code and
subroutines.
Library programs contain code and data that provide
services to other programs such as interface (look and
feel), printing, network code and even the graphic
engines of computer games.

CODE USE
Code reuse, also called software
reuse, is the use of existing
software or software knowledge to
build new software, following the
reusability principles.
It saves time for code and doesnt
need to be written for a program.

SIGNIFICANCE OF
CODE RE- USE
Reusing code saves programming time, which
ultimately reduces costs.
Sharing code can help prevent bugs by
reducing the amount of total code that needs to
be written to perform a set of tasks.
