A Type-in program refers to a type of computer program where the user is expected to manually enter (or "type in") the code into a computer or programming environment. This practice was particularly popular in the early days of personal computing, especially in the 1980s and 1990s, when magazines and books would publish source code listings for users to type into their own computers. Type-in programs often serve as a way to teach programming concepts, allowing users to learn by doing.
