short answer: executable code is a program that is ready to be used write now.
long answer:
writing a computer program is generally a 2 part process (there are exceptions):
1) programmer writes the code
2) programmer runs his code through a special program called a Compiler
the Compiler is responsible for taking code that a programmer can understand, and turning it into something that a computer can understand. executable code is (usually) code that has been compiled.

The binary sequence that instructs the CPU to run the programming code is called a?
executable program
Class of statements usaually produces no executable code when compiled?
When compiled, comments produce no executable code. Rather, comments are intended to let other developers know what is happening in a program.
what tool used to convert C++ source code into executable machine code?
Compliers are used to convert C++ into assembly code. Then a tool called an "assembler" converts that code into machine code. Finally, a "linker" connects all of those machine code files into a single executable.
What do you do to execute a module?
A module is not an executable but, depending on the type of module, it may contain executable code. To invoke that code, you will generally need to execute a machine-code program that can interpret the code within the module. Without knowing the specifics of the module in question, it is impossible to determine how any code within it may be executed.
How c program gets stored in the memory?
Binary object code executable.
How do you convert the source code into executable code by double clicking on it?
There's no such thing as 'Executable Code'! The source code is compiled and the final result is an executable.
How do you modify computer executable files?
In general you do not. Nearly all executable files are coded in a computer programming language, and then compiled into executable files. So to modify an executable, you would need the source code for the program, you would modify the source code and then recompile into a NEW version of the executable. Linux does provide for an executable script file, but these are more scripts than executable files.
What is the content of computer virus?
Executable code.
The binary sequence that instructs the CPU to run the programming code is called a?
executable program
What is the difference of source code object code and pseudo code?
Source code is a sequence of executable instructions written in a particular language. Pseudo code is a sequence of non-executable instructions. It is also called algorithm written in plain English

What combines the object code with the library code to create an executable machine language program?
The linker.
Why is there a need for compiler?
Compilers are needed to convert human readable source code into machine executable code.

Binary object code executable.
How do you get the the coding of any given program?
You mean the original code? Impossible. You can, however, disassemble the executable to see the code in Assembly.
