Thank you for letting me know. As you might guess English is not my first language. Always appreciate these inputs.

lol, I have no idea why someone down voted you.

But yea, the plural of code in the context of programming scripts is just code, but if you were to talk about codes like a code to get into a door pin-pad, it has an “s” at the end for plural. To be honest, I’m sure there’s plenty of native English speakers not in the tech world that would likely also call it “codes” when talking about programming.

From my experience this is a very Indian thing.

It’s also a lot more common in the HPC community from what I’ve seen. Fortran people often have codes they want to run.
