In computer science Computer science is the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation, and of practical techniques for their implementation and application in computer systems. It is frequently described as the systematic study of algorithmic processes that create, describe and transform information. According to Peter J. Denning, the, source code (commonly just source or code) is any collection of statements or declarations written in some human-readable A human-readable medium or human-readable format is a representation of data or information that can be naturally read by humans computer programming language A programming language is an artificial language designed to express computations that can be performed by a machine, particularly a computer. Programming languages can be used to create programs that control the behavior of a machine, to express algorithms precisely, or as a mode of human communication. Source code is the mechanism most often used by programmers A programmer is someone who writes computer software. The term computer programmer can refer to a specialist in one area of computer programming or to a generalist who writes code for many kinds of software. One who practices or professes a formal approach to programming may also be known as a programmer analyst. A programmer's primary computer to specify the actions to be performed by a computer.
The source code which constitutes a program Computer programs are instructions for a computer. A computer requires programs to function, typically executing the program's instructions in a central processor. The program has an executable form that the computer can use directly to execute the instructions. The same program in its human-readable source code form, from which executable is usually held in one or more text files A text file is a kind of computer file that is structured as a sequence of lines. A text file exists within a computer file system. The end of a text file is often denoted by placing one or more special characters, known as an end-of-file marker, after the last line in a text file, sometimes stored in databases as stored procedures A stored procedure is a subroutine available to applications accessing a relational database system. Stored procedures are actually stored in the database data dictionary and may also appear as code snippets Snippet is a programming term for a small region of re-usable source code, machine code or text. Ordinarily, these are formally-defined operative units to incorporate into larger programming modules. Snippets are often used to clarify the meaning of an otherwise "cluttered" function, or to minimize the use of repeated code that is common printed in books or other media. A large collection of source code files may be organized into a directory tree Folder, directory, catalog, or drawer, in computing, is a virtual container within a digital file system, in which groups of computer files and other folders can be kept and organized, 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 In computing, an executable causes a computer "to perform indicated tasks according to encoded instructions," as opposed to a file that only contains data. Files that contain instructions for an interpreter or CPU or virtual machine may be considered executables, but are more specifically called scripts or bytecode. Executables are also file by a compiler A compiler is a computer program that transforms source code written in a computer language (the source language) into another computer language (the target language, often having a binary form known as object code). The most common reason for wanting to transform source code is to create an executable program, or executed on the fly In reference to four-wheel drive vehicles, this term refers to the ability to change from two to four-wheel drive while the car is in gear and moving from the human readable form with the aid of an interpreter In computer science, an interpreter normally means a computer program that executes, i.e. performs, instructions written in a programming language. While interpretation and compilation are the two principal means by which programming languages are implemented, these are not fully distinct categories, one of the reasons being that most interpreting.
The code base of a programming Computer programming is the process of writing, testing, debugging/troubleshooting, and maintaining the source code of computer programs. This source code is written in a programming language. The code may be a modification of an existing source or something completely new. The purpose of programming is to create a program that exhibits a certain project is the larger collection of all the source code of all the computer programs Computer programs are instructions for a computer. A computer requires programs to function, typically executing the program's instructions in a central processor. The program has an executable form that the computer can use directly to execute the instructions. The same program in its human-readable source code form, from which executable which make up the project.
