Beginner's Guide to Source Code
Source Code is the original set of instructions written by programmers. It specifies the operations a program performs and can be read, commented on, and modified during development.
What Is Source Code?
Source Code consists of multiple lines of computer code that define how software operates through deterministic instructions and statements. It is the main form in which software is originally written and generally remains readable and editable by programmers, unlike the machine language ultimately processed directly by a computer.
Programming Languages and Execution
Source Code can be written in languages such as Java, JavaScript, C, Python, PHP, Go, Solidity, or Haskell. When complete, it is generally compiled into machine language that a computer can understand and execute. Some code can instead be executed directly through an interpreter without prior compilation.
Role in Development
During the early stages of software development, programmers can read and edit Source Code and add comments. Comments are readable explanations written in code that help explain the implementation. A source-code repository can also store and reuse code centrally, helping software engineers and programmers conduct development work.
