greenace92 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 It isn't technically "code" is it? I mean code implies programming like at a systems level ? Or does scripting count as "code"? I don't know why I can't think of what word or string of words to call like for example: <img src... > that stuff I mean HTML CSS , jQuery, Javascript, etc... but what do you call that? Can you call it "code" ? I mean you can call it what you want but what is the proper technical way to say or classify that "language" or...

ignace Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) I guess you are referring to compiled and interpreted code. Compiled code is translated to CPU instructions where as interpreted code like PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are translated to instructions in whatever language they were programmed in. For PHP it's C. For HTML, CSS, and JavaScript it depends on the language of the browser. For more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_syntax_tree You can create your own programming language using a BNF generator: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Backus–Naur_Form Some libraries provide a working lexer: https://github.com/doctrine/lexer/blob/master/lib/Doctrine/Common/Lexer/AbstractLexer.php Edited July 18, 2015 by ignace Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/297347-what-do-you-call-the-text-that-web-developers-work-with/#findComment-1516690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scootstah Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I just call it code. The compiled code you're thinking of is more specifically called "machine code", not just "code".

racken Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 They are scripting languages so you could call it script is guess Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/297347-what-do-you-call-the-text-that-web-developers-work-with/#findComment-1518281 Share on other sites More sharing options...
