Source code

[Monolux]

There's something till today that I don't understand. Source code is a denomination to a program. Or can just a simple "2+2" in a shell window, be considerd a source code?

"2+2" in a shell window is "interactiv e" files store source code. Many languages do not have interactive interpreters. This is one bonus of python.

The key to the phrase "source code" is the word "source."
One source for the number 4 printing on the screen is 2+2 in an interactive shell.
The source of a program is code, hence, you have source code.

I say source code is lines in files (i.e. script1.py).
Motoma says "anything" that the interpreter reads no matter where it comes from.

As long as that "anything" is code that goes to "something" then yes.
Code that is the source of something could be called source code.
