codeconstructies

Codeconstructies is a term used to describe the building blocks used to produce software. It encompasses both language-level constructs such as variables, literals, operators, control flow, functions, classes, modules, and higher-level constructs like design patterns, API designs, data structures, and libraries. The term emphasizes the ways in which code is organized and executed, rather than the particular language.

In practice, codeconstructies can be grouped into data constructs (types, collections, serialization), control constructs (branching, looping,

The concept is used in education to teach programming fundamentals, in code reviews to assess readability and
