Today we can discuss about source code and object code:

1: Source Code:

First of all we can discuss about source code. The codes which are written in high level languages are called source code. The high levels languages like Php, C++, Python and Java etc. The source code is easier to understand because this type of codes are near to human language. Instructions in these languages are written in English like words. The computer cannot understand source code. It converts the source code into object code and then execute it.

2: Object Code:

The code which are in machine language is called object code. It is also called object program or machine code. Computer easily execute object code because this type of language is written in binary form and the binary language is the fundamental language of computer system.

I hope after reading this article you can know about what is source code and object code. This is my opinion about this topic. If I can take any mistake please comment me and I am waiting for your response.

Thank You.
