-===== Meaning 1: Module as a General Concept =====
+===== Definition =====
-==== Alternative Terms ====
-/*i.e. alternative names meaning the same thing*/
-==== Definition ====
 A **module** is a piece of code that carries a name and is syntactically distinguished from other parts of the code.
-==== Description ====
+===== Description =====
-Several [[principles]] deal with the decomposition and interaction of classes, methods, procedures, functions, etc. In order to abstract from the concrete syntactic element---be it a class, a method, a procedure, a function, an executable or the like---the term "module" is used. A module is a general concept of a distinguishable part of the code which can be represented by a variety of language constructs.
