Windows Operating System Source Code Viewing

The source code is the main component of a computer program that is created by the programmer. It is written in a human-readable language; it is designed to facilitate the working of a computer. The Microsoft OS source code is not viewable to the public. You can create your very own OS by making changes to existing OS’s like Ubuntu, Redhat or by starting from the scratch.

The term “source code” refers to the raw code or the actual programming code created by a programmer. It is the basic component of a computer program created by a programmer which can easily be understood by a human being.

For example, if a programmer types a sequence of C language statements into a text editor like Notepad or Notepad++ and saves the file as a normal text file, the text file now contains the source code. Source code and object code are occasionally referred to as the “before” and “after” versions of a compiled program.

For script programming languages like JavaScript (non-compiled or interpreted), the terms “source code” and “object code” don’t apply because there is only one form of the code. To create a source code, programmers can use a text editor like Notepad++, a visual programming tool, or an integrated development environment.

In big program development environments, there are frequently management systems that help programmers separate and monitor the different states and levels of source code files.
