The <code> tag in HTML is used to define the piece of computer code. During the creation of web pages sometimes there is a need to display computer programming code. It could be done by any basic heading tag of HTML but HTML provides a separated tag which is <code>.
The code tag is a specific type of text which represent computer output. HTML provides many methods for text-formatting but <code> tag is displayed with fixed letter size, font, and spacing.
Syntax:
<code> Contents... </code>
Example 1:
<pre> <code> #include<stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hello Geeks"); } </code> </pre> |
Output
Example 2:
<pre> <code> class GFG { // Program begins with a call to main() // Print "Hello, World" to the terminal window public static void main(String args[]) { System.out.println("Hello, World"); } } </code> </pre> |
Output
The program which is written inside the <code> tag has some different font size and font type to the basic heading tag and paragraph tag. <pre> tag is used to display code snippet because it always keeps the text formatting as it.
