  1. In programming libraries facilitate the development of complex programs, since libraries already contain various functions that the developer can use and which have usually already been used and tested by many other developers. It therefore saves time and also prevents errors. In short, you don´t have to program everything from scratch.

  2. The documentation is very useful because it is explained/described how we should use this library to get the most value out of it. In most cases there are also useful examples for a better understanding how the libraries works, how to use it correctly and what the developer can make with it.

  1. Why do we need libraries in programming?
    Libraries are groups of code to reuse prepared by other programmers to save time and effort.

  2. What is documentation and why do we need it?
    Documentation helps u to understand the functions, how they are created, and how to use them properly.

  1. Why do we need libraries in programming?

To write less code, to use well described/documented code for a common problem. And it is often well tested and field-tested in other applications.

  1. What is documentation and why do we need it?

Description on houw the library works, how you should interact with it. This is needed to ease the development process, make sure to use the library in the correct way and improves communication.

  1. Why do we need libraries in programming?
    They help with getting functions done and help accomplish tasks that might have been extremely time consuming without the aid of a library.
  2. What is documentation and why do we need it?
    Documentation is a file helps someone understand a function in a library, we need it cause as it helps one know how to use the functions properly. Not to mention helps one know what the code does and how to put it into use
#25

  1. Why do we need libraries in programming?
    As programmers, we should re-use existing code when we can, so that we don’t waste our time writing code that another programmer has already written.

  2. What is documentation and why do we need it?
    Documentation helps u to understand the functions, how they are created, and how to use them properly.

#26

1. Why do we need libraries in programming?
It helps to save time to re-use the existing code that often used.
2. What is documentation and why do we need it?
Document is the file to describe how to properly use the functions within the library with example

#27

  1. Why do we need libraries in programming?
    To not waste time writing code that someone else wrote already.

  2. What is documentation and why do we need it?
    It’s where the lists of functions lie and it’s where we learn how to use the code.

#28
  1. Libraries save time since they include functions for common things that are done over and over.
  2. For larger complex libraries we need documentation to understand how to use the functions provided.
#29

Library: group of functions that are used to stop “reinventing the wheel”. Holds the code that can be reused.
Documentation: essential to guide others on how to use your code or functions

#30
  1. Why do we need libraries in programming?
    libraries allow programmers to used already written and tested code as part of their program. Libraries save programmers time in development and testing.
  2. What is documentation and why do we need it?
    documentation tells a programmer what functions and methods exist in the library, what they do and how to use them.
#31
  1. It allows us to save time trying to solve problems that have been solved before. It allows to get on with the real business logic of the application we are trying to write by ‘standing on the shoulders of others’. If we didn’t have libraries, then writing applications would take a very very long time as we would have to solve all sorts of little problems that we really want to abstract ourselves from.
  2. Documentation tells us what a library can do and how we can use it.
#32

A library is a set of software functionality that solves a common problem. The documentation tells you how to use the library.

#33

  1. A library is a collection of methods which is reused by developers to implement something (like graphics or audio) without having to re-invent the wheel.

  2. Documentation is basically a manual on how to use the methods in a library.

Libraries are good because it has already a large group of functions and routines made and tested, avoiding have to be rewrite from the scratch.
The documentation is fundamental, because we need to understand how to use each one of the functions in a library.

1.- They allow us to share and build upon previous work, library is a JavaScript that contains a bunch of functions, and those functions accomplish some useful task for your webpage.
2.- Documentation allow anyone to understand the function created within the library and how to use them properly.

  1. Why do we need libraries in programming?
    A library contains a bunch of functions, and those functions accomplish some useful task for you. Instead of needing to write everything from scratch, libraries contain many common required functions.

  2. What is documentation and why do we need it?
    Documentation is required so people can understand what each function in a library is used for.

  1. Why do we need libraries in programming?

To save programming time having to write new code for something that was already done by another programmer and made available in the form of a library for other developers to use.

  1. What is documentation and why do we need it?

A library may have documentation written by its programmer to describe the functions and properties offered with code examples included. Documentation provides clarity to developers so they can understand how to use a given library as opposed to figuring it out for themselves which can take time.

  1. In programming, a library is a collection of precompiled routines that a program can use. The routines, sometimes called modules, are stored in object format. Libraries are particularly useful for storing frequently used routines because you do not need to explicitly link them to every program that uses them.

  2. It tells the programmer how to use the library, also all of the functions of the library to be implemented.

  1. Why do we need libraries in programming?
    A library in programming is a collection of methods that are bundled together according to the overall intention of the package.

1.so we dont have to make complicated codes from scratch
2.list of all functions and how to use it .why wouldnt we use it
