What is a 'Source Code'?
I hope I don't seem like an idiot for asking this question, but what is a source code exactly?

Source code is the human-readable form of a computer program. Usually, it's run through a compiler to produce a program that the computer can run, though there are programming languages that are interpreter at run-time instead.Franklinsteiner wrote:I hope I don't seem like an idiot for asking this question, but what is a source code exactly?
As usual, Wikipedia has an article about it.
