What is a library?
A library is a collection of pre-written code, functions, or modules that provides specific functionality for hardware or software development. It contains reusable components that developers can import and use in their projects without having to write the code from scratch. Libraries typically focus on particular tasks like controlling sensors, managing communication protocols, or interfacing with specific hardware components. They save development time and provide tested, reliable code that follows established standards and best practices.
