Code is a set of rules used in communication and information processing to translate data such as a text, expression, sound, picture, or gesture into another type, which is often shortened or hidden, for transmission through a communication channel or storage in a storage medium.
An early example is a language innovation that allowed a person to express what they thought, saw, heard, or felt to others by speech.
However, speech has a limited range of expression due to the distance that a speaker will travel and the audience is limited to those present at the time the speech is delivered.
The invention of printing, which transformed spoken language into graphic objects, broadened the scope of communication through space and time.
