Change algorithm name without global change

Question

I am wondering is it possible instead of Algorithm 1" it could be something else, like "Code 1" without modifying other algorithms in my latex file (or without globally changing things).

I see this question has been asked many times but all of the solutions are either using different algorithm package or globally modify algorithm properties.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[a4paper, total={6in, 8in}]{geometry}
\usepackage{algorithm}
\usepackage{algpseudocode}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\begin{document}
\begin{algorithm}[h]
    \caption{Rule evaluator for classical attribute grammar}\label{alg:ag-eval}
    \begin{algorithmic}
    \Procedure{\texttt{AG_EVAL}}{$r, Val$}
        \If{$r \equiv v_0 \texttt{=} g( v_1, \dots, v_n)$}
            \State $Val(v_0) \gets g( Val(v_1), \dots, Val(v_n))$
        \EndIf
    \EndProcedure
\end{algorithmic}
\end{algorithm}
\end{document}

The trick was using { } or group to wrap the algorithm to prevent changing global settings and use floatname command to update the name.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[a4paper, total={6in, 8in}]{geometry}
\usepackage{algorithm}
\usepackage{algpseudocode}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\begin{document}
{ % opening curly braces
\floatname{algorithm}{Code}  % replacing "Algorithm" with "Code"
\begin{algorithm}[h]
    \caption{Rule evaluator for classical attribute grammar}\label{alg:ag-eval}
    \begin{algorithmic}
    \Procedure{\texttt{AG_EVAL}}{$r, Val$}
        \If{$r \equiv v_0 \texttt{=} g( v_1, \dots, v_n)$}
            \State $Val(v_0) \gets g( Val(v_1), \dots, Val(v_n))$
        \EndIf
    \EndProcedure
\end{algorithmic}
\end{algorithm}
} % closing curly braces
\end{document}

Great :) // However, if you'd edit your answer and emphasize the two lines of code like {% << and }% << it would be evident on-the-fly. Thanks — MS-SPO, Sep 15 '21 at 15:21
This is referred to as scoping. The {...} defines a group, where changes within the group is only temporary unless explicitly states as being global. — Werner, Sep 15 '21 at 19:09
