A '''barcode''' is an optical machine-readable representation of data relating to the object to which it is attached.

A barcode is an optical machine-readable representation of data relating to the object to which it is attached. Originally barcodes systematically represented data by varying the widths and spacings of parallel one-dimensional lines. Later they evolved into rectangles, dots, hexagons, and other geometric patterns in two dimensions.
