  2. Machine code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_code

    Machine code is by definition the lowest level of programming detail visible to the programmer, but internally many processors use microcode or optimize and transform machine code instructions into sequences of micro-ops. Microcode and micro-ops are not generally considered to be machine code; except on some machines, the user cannot write ...

  3. Source code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_code

    In computing, source code, or simply code or source, is text (usually plain text) that conforms to a human-readable programming language and specifies the behavior of a computer. A programmer writes code to produce a program that runs on a computer. Since a computer, at base, only understands machine code, source must be translated in order to ...

  4. Compiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiler

    The name "compiler" is primarily used for programs that translate source code from a high-level programming language to a low-level programming language (e.g. assembly language, object code, or machine code) to create an executable program.: p1 There are many different types of compilers which produce output in different useful forms.

  6. Low-level programming language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-level_programming_language

    Low-level programming language. A low-level programming language is a programming language that provides little or no abstraction from a computer's instruction set architecture —commands or functions in the language map that are structurally similar to processor's instructions. Generally, this refers to either machine code or assembly language.

  7. Native (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_(computing)

    Native (computing) In computing, native software or data-formats are those that were designed to run on a particular operating system. In a more technical sense, native code is code written specifically for a certain processor. [1] In contrast, cross-platform software can be run on multiple operating systems and/or computer architectures .

  8. Obfuscation (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obfuscation_(software)

    In software development, obfuscation is the act of creating source or machine code that is difficult for humans or computers to understand. Like obfuscation in natural language, it may use needlessly roundabout expressions to compose statements. Programmers may deliberately obfuscate code to conceal its purpose ( security through obscurity) or ...

  9. Free software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software

    Shown are the GNOME desktop environment, the GNU Emacs text editor, the GIMP image editor, and the VLC media player. Free software, libre software, or libreware [1] [2] is computer software distributed under terms that allow users to run the software for any purpose as well as to study, change, and distribute it and any adapted versions.
