Line 1: In [[computing]], a ~~[[device]] (usually a computer~~ [[central processing unit\|~~processor~~computer ]]) that can run the same [[source code]] intended to be [[compile]]d and run on another device is said to be '''source-compatible'''. The source code must be [[compiler\|compiled]] before running, unless the device can work as an [[Interpreter (computing)\|Interpreter]] (this is the case of a few [[bytecode]] processors). Confusingly, sometimes the term is used for [[assembly language]] compatibility, where the source is already [[human-readable]] [[machine code]] but must be converted to executable code by an [[Assembly language#Assembler\|assembler]].
