In [[computer programming]], a '''block''' or '''code block''' or '''block of code''' is a lexical structure of [[source code]] which is grouped together. Blocks consist of one or more [[Declaration (computer programming)|declarations]] and [[Statement (computer science)|statements]]. A [[programming language]] that permits the creation of blocks, including blocks [[Nesting (computing)|nested]] within other blocks, is called a '''block-structured programming language'''. Blocks are fundamental to [[structured programming]], where [[control structure]]s are formed from blocks.
