Source Code— In computer science, source code (also known as code, machine code or machine
language) is any collection of computer instructions (sometimes with comments) written using
some human-readable computer language, usually as 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 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. Alternatively, an interpreter can be used to
analyze and perform the effects of the source code program directly on the fly. [IT]
