Question
whats the difference between source code from the object code in c++?

Answer
Dear Sheazel !

  The major difference between the source code and the object code is , A human can understand the source code where as a computer does not , and vice versa for object code !

 Source code will contain the actual program ( say C++ ) written by a programmer , he could understood well what he have written , where as a computer system doesn't , So in order to make the computer to understood the code , it supposed to undergo compilation operation, once the file is compiled it contains binary instructions that the processor can understand but that is difficult for a human to read or modify !

Have a nice day !

With thanks and regards !
