I don’t know (but wanna learn) programming, but, for example, can’t you inspect the code of an app if it’s installed?
(yeah this is kind of a stupid question.)
EDIT: Thanks for the clarification, guys!

Some programs are distributed as “scripts” (in a scripting language like BASIC, BASH, Python, JavaScript, Lua, etc) which are stored on your computer in human-readable form and only converted into CPU machine code when you run the program, through an “interpreter” program.
