1. IDE (Integrated Development Evironment)

   • THE TREE
     • Error Diagnostics
       • It finds the bugs and tells you where it is and tells you what type of error it is and how to fix it.
     • Translator
       • Translates source code into machine code
       • Compiler
         • Translates all of the source code at the same time and creates one executable file
       • Interpreter
         • Translates and runs the source code one line at a time, but doesn't create one executable file
       • Assembler
         • Needed to either compile or interpret the source code so that the computer (CPU) can understand it
     • Editor
       • An editor allows you to write and edit your code
     • Run time environment
       • Helps you find the errors in your code when you are testing it.

2. High level languages

   • High level languages are easy for humans to write, but computers need to translate it first before they can read and run it.
   • Examples of high level code is Python, C + +, JavaScript

3. Low level languages

   • Low level languages are trick for humans to read and write but they are easier for a computer to run. Understood by computers
   • Machine code
   • Assembly language
