A snippet is a small, reusable piece of code or text, used to save time and maintain consistency. In programming, code snippets are pre-written blocks of code for common tasks like loops or classes, which can be inserted into a larger project. In other contexts, like search results, a snippet is a short text excerpt or description that provides a preview of a webpage.
