ITPEC IP April 2025 Question 5
ITPEC IP April 2025 — Question 5 of 100
Source code — this is the human-readable form of a program written in a programming language.
A programmer writes instructions using languages such as Python, Java, or C. That text is called source code. It is then interpreted or translated by a compiler into a form the computer can execute.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- (a) PIN code is a personal authentication number, not a program
- (c) Binary code represents information with 0 and 1 and is closer to the machine-readable form, not the human-readable program text described
- (d) Character code maps characters to numeric values, for example ASCII or Unicode
Key rule: Source code is written for people and language processors; executable machine code is written in instructions the processor directly understands.
