Source code

In computing, source code, or simply code, is any collection of text, with or without comments, written using a human-readable programming language, usually as plain text. The source code of a program 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.

The source code is often transformed by an assembler or compiler into binary machine code that can be executed by the computer. The machine code is then available for execution at a later time.

Most application software is distributed in a form that includes only executable files. If the source code were included it would be useful to a user, programmer or a system administrator, any of whom might wish to study or modify the program.

Alternatively, depending on the technology being used, source code may be interpreted and executed directly.

Examples of use of source code
1. Source code is the underlying blueprint of software.
2. Two laptops on the floor displayed the software‘s source code, an endless blur of numbers.
3. Open–source developers give away the source code, or the underlying instructions of the software.
4. "Normally speaking, the source code is not the ultimate documentation of anything, which is precisely the reason why programmers are required to provide comprehensive documentation to go along with their source code," she said.
5. Source–code blueprints Under the sale, publicly announced on October 6, Check Point would have owned all Sourcefire‘s patents, source–code blueprints for its software and the expertise of employees.
