app
/ap/ n. Short for `application program', as opposed to a systems program. Apps are what systems vendors are forever chasing developers to create for their environments so they can sell more boxes. Hackers tend not to think of the things they themselves run as apps; thus, in hacker parlance the term excludes compilers, program editors, games, and messaging systems, though a user would consider all those to be apps. (Broadly, an app is often a self-contained environment for performing some well-defined task such as `word processing'; hackers tend to prefer more general-purpose tools.) See killer app; oppose tool, operating system.

Executable
Also see Binary file
An executable or executable file, in computer science, is a file whose contents are meant to be interpreted as a program by a computer.While a file in source form may be executable, such a file is usually referred to as a "script." Most executable files contain the binary representation of machine instructions of a specific processor (in which case the executable may also be referred to as a binary), or they may be binary pseudocode for a virtual machine. A non-source executable file is also called an object program. Some operating systems designate executable files by specific naming convention (such as the name ending in a filename extension ".bin" or ".exe") or noted alongside the file in its metadata (such as the "execute" permission bits under Unix-like operating systems). However, unless a file contains properly-formatted computer instructions, it will not actually execute properly even if it is so marked.
