In computing, a basic block is a portion of the code within a program with certain desirable properties that make it highly amenable to analysis. Compilers usually decompose programs into their basic blocks as a first step in the analysis process. Basic blocks form the vertices or nodes in a control flow graph.

Famous quotes containing the words basic and/or block:
“Our basic ideas about how to parent are encrusted with deeply felt emotions and many myths. One of the myths of parenting is that it is always fun and games, joy and delight. Everyone who has been a parent will testify that it is also anxiety, strife, frustration, and even hostility. Thus most major parenting- education formats deal with parental emotions and attitudes and, to a greater or lesser extent, advocate that the emotional component is more important than the knowledge.”
—Bettye M. Caldwell (20th century)
“Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; for you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.”
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 16:23.
