For some reason I am having difficulty figuring out a good way to list code snippets in my undergrad thesis. My project is on development of some software and I've thought about doing this.

Algorithm 1 - description of what the code does

But then I realize algorithm really isn't the right word. I've thought about using the word procedure but then again I don't know if declared classes count as procedures. Can someone offer some advice?

Listing is another word that gets used sometimes. It sounds a bit unnatural to me though; maybe it is in wide use just because it is used in a certain Latex package.

    Maybe that is why 'listing' remains widely used now, but the word was definitively widespread already before the birth of TeX, thus predating the package by at least a decade. And the practice itself of printing lists of instructions goes back at least to 1970, but I'm not sure when it acquired its name. – Anyon Apr 28 '20 at 14:56
