− | '''Source code''' is | + | '''Source code''' is any collection of computer instructions written using some [[human-readable]] computer language. The source code is often transformed by a [[compiler]] program into low-level [[machine code]] understood by the computer. Alternatively, an [[interpreter (computing)|interpreter]] can be used to analyze and perform the outcomes of the source code program directly on the fly. |
− | + | Software, and its accompanying source code, typically falls within one of two licensing paradigms: [[open source]] and [[proprietary software]]. Software is ''open source'' if the source code is free to use, distribute, modify and study, and ''proprietary'' if the source code is kept secret, or is privately owned and restricted. | |
− | + | [[Porting]] software to other computer platforms is usually prohibitively difficult without source code. Without the source code for a particular piece of software, portability is generally computationally expensive.{{Citation needed|date=October 2008}} Possible porting options include [[binary translation]] and emulation of the original platform. | |
