Programming languages

Programming languages

1. IDE

   • IntelleJ, Eclipse, CLion
   • Integrated Development Environment - Used to write code in high level programming languages
   • Auto completes variables to allow the programmer to have a smoother programming experience with less time trying to remember variable names
   • Allows you to edit code with many features aimed to aid the programming experience for example auto completing variables or in built debuggers

2. Debugger

   • Debuggers (usually integrated into the IDE) are used to identify bugs in the code
   • Allows you to run through the code line by line to identify logical errors and see the value of variables

3. Translator

   • High level programming language
     • Low level programming language
       • Assembly, Binary instructions
     • C++, Java, Python
     • Allows short codes to be used that will be interpreted as a lower level instruction
   • Converts higher level code into lower level code meaning it can run on the machine and interpret the information

4. Interpreter

   • Line by line it converts the code instead of the compiler which compiles all the code at once into a executable file
