The programming instructions in a human readable form,
The source code of the software is the set of programming instructions that is written by the programmer using a particular computer language. In order for the computer to understand and run the software, the source code must be compiled or "translated" into machine code (also referred to as binary code, executable code or object code). To modify the software, the source code must be available for modifications, as the machine code is not human-readable.
