Different programs often perform some of the same basic tasks, such as computing sales tax or displaying product or employee information. If the code for these general tasks is treated as reusable code, it enables whole portions of new programs to be created with chunks of pretested, error-free code segments, which greatly reduces development time. Some programming approaches are specifically designed to have reusable components, such as the class libraries that can be used with object-oriented programming.
