Types of Codes :

                                 There are two types of codes that are as follows:

1.   Source Code:

                                 A program written in a high-level language is called source code.Source code is also called source program.Computer cannot understand the statements of high-level language.It is converted into object code and then executed.

2.   Object Code:

                                 A program in machine language is called object code.It is also called object program or machine code.Computer understands object code directly.

Difference b/w Source Code and Object Code :


Source Code:

  1. Source code is written in high-level or assembly language.
  2. Source code is easy to understand.
  3. Source code is easy to modify.
  4. Source code contains fewer statements than object code.

Object Code:

  1. Object code is written in machine language.
  2. Object code is difficult to understand.
  3. Object code is difficult to modify.
  4. Object code contains more statements than source code.
