Libraries - Reading Assignment

Javascript Programming
#1085

So we do not re-invent the wheel. There are functions that will be used in different contexts multiple times and re-using pre-coded libraries is a lot more time efficient and reduces the likelihood of making errors when coding everythign from scratch.

  1. Why do we need libraries?

Libraries are files that contain programs that solve specific problems / do specific tasks. For many tasks there are libraries that contain the code necessary to conduct a particular task. A programmer can use a library’s code for a given problem / task instead of rewriting the code from scratch.

We may need JS libraries for several reasons:

  • learning through using the exisiting code, created by the experienced developer(s)
  • saving time and completing the big project faster
  • creating something purposeful for JS devs community

    To help each other , share codes, reuse them, save time

1.) Because it saves us a lot of work. We can use a code that somebody has already written. We dont had to “reinventing the wheel”.

They contain functions written by other programmers. These functions have been shared publicly by the programmers that wrote them for others to use. Libraries save other programmers the time of writing code they would’ve had to type out themselves.

A.1. Libraries are very useful to programmers because it allows existing code to be used. This makes programming more time efficient for there is no need to reinvent the wheel. A library is a JavaScript file that contains a number of functions that serves specific tasks. These functions can be accessed by refereeing to the documentation provided. Most libraries have documentation with a list of available functions or real-world examples.

We need libraries because it’s useful to reuse code that someone else took the time to create already for the same functions you may need to apply in your code.

  1. We need libraries so that we can build on successful code that has already been implemented and work together on new advancements instead of having to spend all of our time resolving the same problem over and over again.

A programmer needs libraries to save time, not having to code general functions.Libraries provides working functions with documentation and can be reused by anyone.

saving time, it is a useful thing that you can use the code from other developer.

It saves us time so we don´t have to write code which someone already wrote. We can build upon those blocks. It saves time and resources.

To save time. You don’t need to write the code for a functionality that is already out there waiting for you to use it.

Libraries are needed so the code that probably lot of programmers use can be re-used and it is not necessary to write down the same code again. It is a useful tool.

    We mainly use libraries so that we’re able to reduce our work load by basically copying code or specific needed functions from other programers when they’ve already solved the task of programming it.

    The reason we need libraries is actually so that we do not waste time writing code that another programmer has already written.

We can use libraries to save time, because we can use the code of other programmers and implement it in our code.
