**Source Code** is the set of instructions and statements written by a programmer using a computer programming language (i.e., C/C++, Java, JavaScrit, Python, Erlang, etc.). This code is later translated into machine language by a [[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:c:compiler]]. The translated code is referred to as object code.
