Do you mean Code::Blocks, the software, or a codeblock, which is just a block or chunk of code.  See, somtimes a question will be "In this codeblock, what does x+=1 do?" and then they will have something like:
```
for(int x = 10; x < 20; x+=1) {
         System.out.println("value of x : " + x);
}
```

That chunk of example code would be the codeblock.

Thre software, well, as the others have pointed out, it is a development environment.  That means it helps you write code.  It is neamt to be used with an assortment of compilers.
