 Executable
 
 ■ "Executable" most often refers to certain types of code, files, or
   statements:

   Executable code           Code that performs a task at run time, such as
                             carrying out a command or returning a value. In
                             contrast, nonexecutable code defines variables
                             and constants.
 
   Executable file           An application created in Visual Basic that can
                             run outside the programming environment.
 
   Executable statement      A statement that Visual Basic translates into a
                             specific action at run time. Most Visual Basic
                             statements are executable; exceptions are
                             declarations, constant definitions, comments,
                             and user-defined type definitions.
