Yes - the answer from "Glorfindel" is the important one.
Another way to think about it: when you're inside a web browser, you're using "code".
When you're inside an airplane, or driving a car over a bridge, or at the top of any modern building, you're benefiting from someone having used "codes" to numerically simulate the material properties and dynamic responses of those systems, to increase your safety.
"Codes" seems to be considered valid in the context of scientific computing but not generally elsewhere in the software industry.
