Great! What are 'code snippets'?

If you look at the URL of this page 'index.php?automodule=blog&blogid=10&showentry=537' or something similar, you'll see that it names a file (index.php) and also gives that file some information (blogid=10, etc). The file is made up of code that returns a webpage based on the information.

 

If you equate this to, let's say, a human resources department, a CEO might ask for a report on turnover rates or something. This would be roughly something like index.php?department=hr&report=turnover. A code snippet would be similar to a person in the HR dept. that has a specialized job, or even the whole HR dept itself, depending on the scope of the entire code.
