intergrated development enviroment

1. different languages

   • high level
     • High level is easier for human to understand, but more difficult for computers, like python.
   • low level
     • Low level is hard for humans to understand but easier for computers to understand, such as assembler.

2. translators

   • interpreters
     • An interpreter is a computer program that directly executes instructions written in a programming or scripting language, without requiring them previously to have been compiled into a machine language program.
   • compilers
     • A compiler is a special program that processes statements written in a particular programming language and turns them into machine language or "code" that a computer's processor uses. Typically, a programmer writes language statements in a language such as Pascal or C one line at a time using an editor.
   • A translator is a programming language processor that converts a computer program from one language to another. It takes a program written in source code and converts it into machine code. It discovers and identifies the error during translation.

3. code editor

   • colour coding
   • bracket matching
   • syntax checks

4. auto documentation

   • This explains the function and purpose of the code, eg by noting the modules and variables used, and its expected behaviour, and collates this into a text file that can be used by other developers to understand how and why the code was created.

5. runtime enviroment

   • the period when a comuter program is executing

6. debugger

   • This is a program within the IDE that is used to detect errors. If the debugger detects errors, it may suggest what the type of error is and what line it is on.
