Your friend is doing a PhD and his algorithms have been published in professional journals. You know his work is credible and ask him for some code from an assignment he completed in his first year. You add parts of your friend's code to your own code and complete your program, but you don't acknowledge your friend as a source.

Using your friend's code from one of his assignments, even with his permission, instead of from one of his publications, might be an example of collusion. Always carefully check with your lecturer beforehand if using your friend's assignment code in this way is allowed. If you can use it, you will need to acknowledge (i.e. reference) it in the right way.
This is OK, because your friend is a credible source.
I first need to check with my lecturer if I can actually use the code from my friend's first-year assignment. If I can, I need to acknowledge it.
You only need to acknowledge the work your friend has published. You don’t need to acknowledge unpublished work.

If ever in doubt, ask your lecturer or someone else
