Techopedia Explains Inline Code

Inline code is primarily used to provide a functionality external to the primary program to which it is added. The inline code is executed based on a certain condition or as needed. Typically, inline code is embedded within the loop of the program body rather than being called as a separate function. So whenever the primary program is executed, the inline code also functions if the corresponding state or condition is as specified.
