The form in which most computer software is originally written by a programmer, consisting of sets of coded alphanumeric instructions in any of numerous programming languages such as Java or C++. Source code is then translated (using a special-purpose software program such as a compiler or assembler) into software object code, which is a numeric form that can be processed directly by a computer or other device to control its operation.
