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 does a compiler do when you compile your program?

Coverts source code into object code


Why is pseudo code called false code?

Pseudo code cannot be processed by a machine, it is solely intended for processing by humans.


What is role of compiler?

It coverts your source code into machine code so the computer can execute it.


What programs that translate the source code to object code?

Programs that translate source code to object code are known as compilers. A compiler takes high-level programming languages like C, C++, or Java and converts them into machine code or object code that can be executed by a computer's hardware. Additionally, assemblers translate assembly language into object code, while interpreters directly execute the source code without generating a separate object code file. Examples of popular compilers include GCC for C/C++ and the Java Compiler (javac) for Java.


Who is best between sourcecode and object code?

Source code is the human-readable version of a program written in a programming language, while object code is the machine-readable version generated by a compiler from the source code. The "best" between them depends on the context: source code is easier for humans to read and modify, while object code is necessary for a computer to execute the program. Both are important in software development.

How does pseudo code operate?

It doesn't. Pseudo code isn't a programming language, it is just there to give an idea of how you could write a program.


Can object code and source code of a compiler be in same language?

No, they are two different things, source code is human-readable and machine code is machine-readable (though it can be represented in assembly)


Difference between source code and target code?

Source code is code written in a programming language, such as C++ or Java. It is designed to be architecture-independent and human-readable. Source code must be converted to object code (aka machine code) before it can be executed. Object code is architecture-dependent and is not easily human-readable (think ones and zeros). The point of this setup is that you can ensure that code you write in a programming language (source code) can be executed on ANY architecture that has a proper compiler.
