n. [very common] In reference to software, source is invariably shorthand
|
|
|
|
for source code , the preferred human-readable and human-modifiable form of
|
|
|
|
the program. This is as opposed to object code, the derived binary
|
|
|
|
executable form of a program. This shorthand readily takes derivative forms;
|
|
|
|
one may speak of the sources of a system or of having source.
