At it again! Keep them comming. Im going to study Software Engineering this summer, and your videos really make me wanna explore more and more! Thanks for these great videos!

[@TuMundoAndroideMania]

Excellent! What I don't understand is how do they store the source code inside the program so they don't use it? And besides, I also have a big doubt: if I make an application and I know the source code and I sell it, does the code change or is it still the same? Because if it's the same then I can practically control the application, right? Example Facebook bought WhatsApp how did they make it happen to Facebook?

[@morganmitchellcreative]

Sir you are an incredible teacher and video maker! Thank you so much!

[@jackagonz]

I've heard some of the terms used before but this gave a very good basic explanation of them that I was missing. Thanks!

Only thing he got wrong was an interpreter, but he didn't rlly talk about it, just showed on screen.

[@solar9137]

i'm seriously grateful that this channel exists

[@reviewneo1449]

Me too

[@H3Vtux]

Question for viewers: I could not remember/find any information on whether Garry Newman made Garrysmod with the public release of HL2 source code or the leaked one from a year prior. Anybody know?

[@priyesh3357]

My stars were probably aligned right when I found out your channel. This channel made me curious about things for which I didn't even give a nanosecond of my time. I am binging your videos at night even though I have to wake up early in the morning. Definitely recommending this channel to my friends and I hope that you never stop making such simple yet exceptional videos.

[@wisegamer706]

I swear these videos should be shown to CS majors before they even start anything. Like you get so lost in abstraction that you don’t know what is actually happening. While being simple this actually explains it very well and I feel like if everyone working with code had an idea of how it’s broken down and actually implemented in the computer then it would be a lot more meaningful.

[@hereticstanlyhalo6916]

The only thing that was mainly wrong with this was how you displayed an interpreter, otherwise really good for new users. If new people are wondering, an interpreter is a language read by another language line by line in realtime, it parses each line into separate characters, creates a token, or an object just saying what this set of characters are, and than does stuff with it, it never turns it into machine code. And the code can only go as fast (most often slower) as the interpreter language.

[@scrung]

an interpreter is a program, not a language, just in case anyone got confused reading this. also, interpreters do in fact translate it into machine code. it does not *generate* any new machine code, but it executes pre-compiled machine code that already exists in the interpreter program (or somewhere else that it points to).

[@hereticstanlyhalo6916]

@lurvsoft I didn't say that an interpreter is a language, what I was meaning is that an interpreter is a thing to read a language in another language, for example. Python is compiled an interpreted by a c++ interpreter.

[@scrung]

@@hereticstanlyhalo6916 copy pasted from your comment: "an interpreter is a language". Also, python is not compiled or "compiled and intepreted" (???). Python is just interpreted, by a program written in c++*. Sorry, but in every comment you make you are wrong, and it would not be helpful to anyone looking for the right info to be reading this.

[@hereticstanlyhalo6916]

@@scrung Excuse me? Firstly, I never stated that an interpreter is or isn't THE language, there was no comma in that stament, I was clearly stating it's a thing that is made in one programming language to interpret another. Also, I don't there's misunderstanding on "compiled and interpreted". Let me clear it up, most interpreted languages are converted to a bytecode arrangement, this is what I meant by compiled, it compiles it into bytecode, and then the bytecode is interpreted. And yes, if you were to make an interpreter in c++ for smth like python, python is being interpreted by c++ via your interpreter. I think there was miscommunication, but I never stated that an interpreter is just some program, nor I never meant compiled as in a regular machine code compiler.

[@isaiahsimmons5776]

i thought this was about why source engine is named, well, source. it probably refers to a source port. u could say goldsource was source port of quake engine, or something behind history of goldsource. so source is it name.

In the context of gaming, does this mean that in order to mod you will need the source code? For example GTA RP creators must know the GTA5 source code? If so then I don't entirely understand how knowing the source code is a big deal?

[@Joeschmoe2468ten]

So if we get the machine code of the most secretive code in the world. It would just be zeroes and 1s and would not know we sitting with the most prized sequence of numbers? So if we get the numbers can you take those numbers and convert them to any language we want? I mean say we have the machine code for a calculator written in apache or whatever. Can we take those numbers and make the computer write the same program in c++? Does it come down to the same machine code fundamentally is what I ask in a long stupid way.

[@up4996]

Can you translate machine code into assembly or high level? It seems that isn't possible but what is stopping us?

[@shade0636]

I also have this question. I wonder if the machine code of an exe file could be translated into a higher level in order to get a software's source code.

[@H3Vtux]

No. Source code is essentially used to "create" the machine code, but once that's done there is no information in the EXE itself as to what code was used to "create" the machine code. Imagine a bunch of basketballs at the top of a hill, and I calculate excatly how to roll each of them to end up in holes at the bottom of a hill. Then I do this, and later you walk by and see a bunch of basketballs in holes at the bottom of a hill. You don't have any information as to where they were at the top of the hill or how exactly I rolled them, you just see a bunch of basketballs. You know where they are now, but you don't know exactly how they got there.

[@shade0636]

@@H3Vtux That's a good analogy, thanks.

[@disrael2101]

@@H3Vtux I don't think it's 100% accurate because everything one writes in the source code translate to machine code so you can find out to at least a certain degree what was the original code concept even if it's not as accurate as line by line translation (if you know to interpret asm of course)

[@H3Vtux]

​@@disrael2101 So this is where "simplyfing" gets really hard and really complicated. While it's not completely *impossible* to go through each and every instance of binary and sort of "reverse engineere it" into assembly code, for anything but the simplest of programs it would be so difficult and take so long it's not even worth considering, and the result will be missing much of what makes the code "readable". Tabs, indents, and spaces are gone, variable assignments will be gone, class names, and any comments the programmer left in will not be left as the compiler flat out deletes these things.

I have other way to explain If someone see bread the know that it's bread 🍞, however wean someone wants to create a bread the use materials like sloppy water ECT, However in reality it's off those materials in reality it's element HO2 or whatever hover people use words like water ECT in the order to understand how to make bread Even if in reality the use those element's In my opinion something similar happened in computer coding the regular person see the software houever this in reality it's 01 but the developers usually use words in the order to understand what happened in reality
