What is a Source Code?
In computer science, source code is a text written using the format and syntax of the programming language, or a computer language
of another purpose, that it is being written in. A programming language
is specially designed to facilitate the work of computer programmers,
who specify the actions to be performed by a computer mostly by writing
source code, which, for some languages, then is automatically[clarification needed] translated to binary machine code that the computer can directly read and execute. An interpreter translates to machine code] and executes it on the fly, while a compiler only translates to machine code that it stores as executable files; these can then be executed as a separate step.Most computer applications
are distributed in a form that includes executable files, but not their
source code. If the source code were included, it would be useful to a
user, programmer, or system administrator, who may wish to modify the program or understand how it works. credit to (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_code)
