Blocks
Blocks are physical objects typically made of wood, plastic, or foam that are used for various purposes such as building, stacking, and playing. They are usually small and rectangular in shape, although they can also be cylindrical, triangular, or any other shape.
Children often use blocks for building towers, bridges, and other structures during playtime. Educational toys made of blocks can also help children learn about shapes, colors, and spatial relationships. Blocks can also be used in the construction industry as building materials, especially for foundations, walls, and retaining structures.
In computer programming, a block refers to a section of code that is grouped together and executed as a single unit. Blocks can be used to control the flow of a program, create loops, and define functions. In blockchain technology, a block refers to a group of transactions that are recorded and verified by network nodes and then added to the blockchain.
