1. IDE

   • TREE
     • Translators: used to translate high to low programming languages
       • compiler: this translates all of the source code at the same time and creates an executable file. this also returns a list of errors once it is completed. compiling can take a long time.
       • interpreter: this translates and runs the source code one instruction at a time but doesn't create an executable file. this will return the first error it finds and then stop for debugging.
       • assembler: these are used to turn assembly lang into machine code. there are many different assembly languages and each one needs its own unique assembler
     • run time enviroment: allows you to run your code and test it if it works
     • editor: allows you to write and edit code.
     • error diagnostics: used to debug your code. it finds where the error is and suggests a way to fix it

2. high level languages.

   • the source codde is easy for humans to write, but computers need to translate it into machine code before they can read and run it
   • examples of this are: python, c++, javascript etc.

3. low level languages

   • low level languages are tricky for humans humans to read and write but are easier for computers to run.
   • these consist of machine code and assembly languages like mneumonics
