ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Block (programming)

When you want to make something happen on a computer, you usually have to give it instructions in a language it understands. But instead of typing out every instruction one by one, block programming lets you use ready-made blocks of code that you can snap together like puzzle pieces. It's kind of like building with Legos! Each block does a different thing, and you can arrange them in different ways to create different programs. So instead of writing out everything in a big long list, you can just drag and drop the blocks you need and watch your program come to life!
