What is the source code for a program? And why is it kept under secret, is it always part of the production version?
In: 2
From my understanding, source code is the thing behind a program that makes it do what the program does. If you have the program as “open source”, that means that everybody can see what makes it tick, and can attempt to hack, cheat, steal, or something like that. It also can make it safer, because more people can fix the security holes in the program. “Closed source” means that not many people know what makes the program the way it is, making it harder to hack theoretically. I think it is part of the production version, it’s the backbone of the program which you build other features off of that. Hope that helped!
