Source code

Source code is the underlying text by which a computer program is written, scripted or understood. Source code is a human redable, though verbose, way of expressing operations to be performed by computers. Code is written in so-called "computer languages," which create a standardized method to express computing ideas. Source code has to be translated from human readable form into a computer optimized form, which can happen either before the program is run, or while the program is being run, depending on the language. If the translation happens before a program is run, called compiling, the result can be distributed to machines without the original source, obscuring some of the complexity of the language If the result happens whlie the program is run, called scripting, anyone can deconstruct the source code and understand how the program executes its goals.
