A source code or sometimes called source code is the basis of any computer program or web page. This is a readable sequence of instructions to the computer created by a human. A source code is written in a programming language that specifies how the instructions must be executed. In order for the computer to execute these instructions, the author must follow the rules of the programming language. Depending on the programming language used, the source code may look different. For example, a graphical representation of program parts can also be part of the source code, which is translated into machine language.

In this video we will show you what exactly a source code is:

There are many different programming languages that can be used to write a source code. Among the most famous are the following:

  • BASIC
  • Java
  • JavaScript
  • PHP
  • Python
  • Pascal
  • C
  • And C++

Structure of a source code

Despite different programming languages one keeps to different conventions when writing a source code and since programming languages often build on each other, certain elements appear again and again in the source codes. These are the following:

  1. Commands and instructions: They are the basis of all applications, because they tell the program what to do.
  2. Variables: They store values of calculations and evaluations within a program and are the basis. They also provide the data that the programmer needs for calculations.
  3. Conditional applications: They are also an important element in a source code and are based on the if-then principle.
  4. Loops: They are used when something is to be run through as many times as necessary until a certain condition is met.
  5. Comments: They are used in a source code so that the programmer can keep track of it or other people can understand it.
