Depends

In software development, "depends" refers to a relationship where one piece of code or module relies on another to function properly. If Module A "depends" on Module B, it means A needs B to be present or available for it to work correctly. Managing these dependencies ensures that all necessary components are available, compatible, and loaded in the correct order, which helps maintain system stability, prevent errors, and streamline updates. Dependencies are common in programming, especially in complex projects, and are often handled through tools that automatically manage these relationships.
