Integrated Developer Enviroments

1. High / Low level code

   • High level code
     • Human readable code
     • Less memory efficient
     • Easy to understand
   • Low level code
     • Machine readable code
     • More memory efficient
     • More complex

2. Translator

   • Intepreter
     • Translates code line by line
     • Lists errors and it goes
     • Program runs slower as it runs it line by line
   • Compiler
     • Translates all the code at once
     • Lists errors at the end
     • Program runs fast once compiled
   • The purpose of a translator is to convert high level code into code the machine understands

3. IDE Tools

   • Debugger
     • Finds errors in the code
   • Run-Time environment
     • Allows you to run the code without affecting your PC
   • Auto Decumentation
     • Tracks variables in the code
   • Code editor
     • Allows you to edit code

4. The purpose of and IDE is to make the development of code easier for the developer
