In programming and in code, an idiom describes a commonly-used way to code a relatively small construct in a particular programming context. Many such constructs are found in multiple programming contexts yet tend to vary by context. Like a linguistic idiom, a programming idiom is a commonly-used way to express a concept in a language that exists outside the definition of the language yet is constrained by it.
