    The document discusses source code, machine code, compilers, and features of good code. Compilers are software that convert source code, which is written by programmers, into machine code that computers can understand to execute instructions. Good code has three key features - it must be correct, have good design and structure, and be written in a readable style. The document also defines command line and graphic user interfaces, noting that the former uses text while the latter uses images and mouse/keyboard interaction.

    NOTES FOR LECTURE 2

    Source code : the code the human programmer writs or creates

    Machine code refers to the binary and other info the machine understands

    For computers to understand or be given instructions they must first be able to convert source code into
    machine code

    They do this with the help of a compiler

    Compilers are software that convert source code to machine code

    A Good code must have these features correctness , good design and style

    Correctness : code must be able to do what it is supposed to

    Good design : it must be styled in its most efficient manner

    Style : it must be written in a way whereby it is easily readable to others and yourself

    Command line interface (CLI) shows you the text version of the programme. It only shows letters and
    can interact with only keyboard

    Graphic User Interface (GUI ) is what you see on your screen it is usually interacting with the mouse or
    joystick sometimes keyboard and is seen as images

    Terminal code refers to the CLI part of an editor or IDE
