Integated development environment

1. translators

   • high level
     • python
     • c++
     • easier for humans to understand
       • easier to use
   • low level
     • assembly code
     • binary
     • less suitable for human use
       • easier to control the process of CPU
   • translators are used to convert high level code to machine code
     • interpretation
     • complier
     • assemblier

2. purpose: to make it easier for a developer to create code

   • Code Editor
     • organises the code such as indents, colour coding, bracket matching, syntax check
   • Error Diagnostics
     • Warnings identify problems in the code and list errors
   • Run-time environment
     • Allows developer to run the code during development. Allows time to check errors and functionality

3. Translator

   • complies or interprets the source code into runnable machine code
