The source code is the programmed instructions of the program. Due to the variety of programming languages, they can look and be structured very differently. Also a html page has a source code or source code. You can also view it with a browser, e.g. with the command "View page source code" (different names depending on the browser).
Machine language translation
Programs are mostly created in an integrated development environment or with the help of a text editor. In order for the computer to execute it, it must be translated into machine language. This is done either by a compiler, interpreter or JIT compiler. A mixed form such as Java uses an intermediate code (Java-Bytecode) to enable platform independence.
