programming languages

1. IDE

   • THE TREE
     • editor
       • Allows you to edit your code
     • run time environment
       • Allows you to run your code and see if there are any erros and where they are
     • error diagnostics
       • allows you to see your errors and tell you where you are but only for syntax errors
     • translator
       • translates source code into machine code
       • compiler
         • translates all your code in one go and produces an executable file faster than an interpreter
         • returns a list of errors once compiling is done for the entire program
       • interpreter
         • translates your code line by line and comes up with errors for each line step by step making it easier to see your errors
         • is a lot slower to translates your code than compiler
       • assembler
         • translates assembly code into machine code

2. low level languages

   • languages that are understood by the cpu and can't be read or understood by humans
   • machine code
     • understood by CPU as it's mostly in binary
     • assembly code
       • shorten command words that can't be understood by humans

3. high level languages

   • can be understood by humans and is portable
   • java
   • python
