In [[computer programming]], '''self-modifying code''' is code that modifies itself. This is impossiblestraightforward to dowrite withoutwhen the use ofusing [[assembly language]] asand is also supported by some high level langugageslanguage (HLL's)interpreters simplysuch cannotas describe[[SNOBOL4]]. It is more howdifficult to doimplement on compilers but languages such anas [[Clipper]] and [[SPITBOL]] make a fair attempt advacedat operationit.
