Libraries - Reading Assignment

Why do we need libraries? Libraries help improve productivity by reusing code that has already been successfully developed to implement similar functionality within our webpage. Time is saved by not having to create new code for relatively generic functions and more effort can be applied to the innovation of implementing these functions.

1.Why do we need libraries?
To save time and effort.

It saves everyone time. No need to reinvent the wheel if someone already did the work.

unless you want to write everything yourself from scratch you don’t ā€œneedā€ them.
inventing something that already exist is stupid unless you can do it better than all the rest of the coding comunity,
good luck :wink:

1 We need libraries to save time and make it easy for everyone to use the same code when we can.

  1. Why do we need libraries?

To save time: we do not have to rewrite the same code on and on from scratch.

So programmers can share useful code that will allow each other to re-use them and save time when possible.

Why do we need libraries?
So that we can improve efficiency when writing code, by reusing already written code, and also for reusability purposes.

  1. Why do we need libraries?
    Libraries allow us to save a lot of time by using pre-existing functions and code that carries out different purposes. Instead of re-writing the code and then fixing the bugs from that code we can cobble together the functions from the library to carry out a greater overall task.

We need them so we don’t have to write code over and over again and waiste a lot of time

Why do we need libraries?

  • Provides a central location (library) of programs/functions that may be accessed by programmers to prevent writing programs/functions that already exist.

  • The same location may be used to provide documentation and/or examples of the programs/functions stored in that location (library).

  1. Why do we need libraries?
    So we can re-use code and save time.

Hello,

  1. We need libraries because in order to build a table we don’t need to reinvent each and every time the hammer and the nails. We can just find a hammer and nails that has been already assembled/poured and start right away with our project. In programming it also saves us from the bug elimination/troubleshooting that is inevitable with all functions that are written. A library probably has most bugs already stomped out.

Best.

Why do we need libraries?

JavaScript Libraries have documentation containing lists of available functions and/or real-world examples.

When a programmer decides to share their coding with the world in a JavaScript library - they will most likely be sharing something that they have put effort into and will come up with great documentation and examples.

Developers use JavaScrip libraries so they don’t have to rewrite code that has already been written by someone else. They use blocks of code - rather like building blocks - and fit them together to create the program.

This saves a lot of time!

Why do we need libraries?
programmers need libraries for more development time, libraries are useful so you dont waste time writing code that another programmer has already written.

A library is a list of functions in a JavaScript file. The purpose of a library is to mitigate duplicate code. If a programmer has already developed a function, a library allows other developers to call those functions, eliminating the need to create new functions that performs similar tasks. Libraries speed up development time and they increase webpage functionality.

  1. As programmers we should re use code were we can. So we don’t have to build everything from scratch saving time. Libraries are code created by someone else for other people to use.

Libraries help for a number of things: It would be impossible for all developers to know everything so sharing code is efficient.
Libraries help us to keep our code clean and manageable.
