Ohjelmistokirjasto, or software library in English, is a collection of pre-written code modules and subroutines that programmers can use to develop software applications more efficiently. These libraries provide ready-made solutions for common programming tasks, saving developers from having to write the same code repeatedly. They can encompass a wide range of functionalities, from basic input/output operations and mathematical calculations to complex tasks like networking, graphics rendering, and database management.
The use of software libraries promotes code reusability, which is a fundamental principle in software engineering.
There are typically two main types of software libraries: static and dynamic. Static libraries are linked directly
