In computing, source code is any collection of computer instructions (often with comments) written using some human-readable programming language, usually as text.
Description
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.
Compiler
The source code is often transformed by a compiler program into low-level machine code understood by the computer. The machine code might then be stored for execution at a later time.
Interpreter
Alternatively, an interpreter can be used to analyze and perform the outcomes of the source code program directly on the fly.
