I love how math and science people say that.
"The codes aren't working"
"I need to fix the codes"
"Does anybody have a good code for ..."
"I'm Gilbert Strang, a real code wouldn't do it this way, but it's instructive."
- a-dub 9y agoI'm guessing it's gotta be something related to Fortran. Some seminal book or maybe some reference to the "coding sheets" that people would fill out to have keyed in. If your program is long, then you have multiple sheets, so maybe that's where the plural comes from?
