G-code is the common name for the most widely used computer numerical control (CNC) programming language, which has many implementations. Used mainly in automation, it is part of computer-aided engineering. This general sense of the term, referring to the language overall (using the mass sense of "code"), is imprecise, because it comes metonymically from the literal sense of the term, referring to one letter address among many in the language (G address, for preparatory commands) and to the specific codes (count sense) that can be formed with it (for example, G00, G01, G28). In fact, every letter of the English alphabet is , although some letters' use is less common. Nevertheless, the general sense of the term is indelibly established as the common name of the language. G-code is sometimes called G programming language. This usage may be more common outside North America than inside. American industrial CNC users tend to say G-code only.
