Programming Languages

1. Ide

   • Tools
     • Editor
       • Write code, colour code the keywords, autocomplete code.
     • Compiler
       • It converts the source code into machine code so that it can be executed as a stand - alone
     • Interpreter
       • Allows you to translate source code line by line when testing your code.
       • The difference between a compiler and an interpreter is that a compiler can convert the source code into machine code while an interpreter translates source code line by line allowing you to test that line.
     • Debugger
       • Identifies errors in your code and can highlight the location of the errors and the suggestions of ways to fix it.
     • Translator
       • It usually converts high level code into machine code. Translators are assemblers ,interpreters or compilers.
   • Intergarted Development Environment. It helps programmers to develop their program.
   • Intergrated Development Environment. Helps programmers to develop their program.
   • Features: Line numbering, Auto colour coding, Auto complete, Auto correct, Auto indentation.

2. Assembly language

   • A high level language is easier for humans (easy for the programmer to understand). Whereas machine code and assembly language are considered low level languages which are easier for computers to understand.
