Language - Application Programming Interface ( API )

About

An Application Programming interface (API) is the set of public element of an module (package, library)

The element of an API may be:

Classes,
Interfaces,
Constructor,
Members,
…

Programming interfaces are user interfaces.

The design of programming interfaces has a strong effect on whether humans can understand code and by extension whether they can learn to be proficient.
