source code

source language that a program is written in, computer program before is is compiled

Not to be confused with source coding. In computer science, source code (commonly just source or code) is any sequence of statements and/or declarations written in some human-readable computer programming language.The source code which constitutes a program is usually held in one or more text files, sometimes stored in databases as stored procedures and may also appear as code snippets printed in books or other media. A large collection of source code files may be organized into a directory tree, in which case it may also be known as a source tree. A computer program's source code is the collection of files needed to convert from human-readable form to some kind of computer-executable form. The source code may be converted into an executable file by a compiler, or executed on the fly from the human readable form with the aid of an interpreter.
