Programming Languages

1. IDE (Integrated Development Environment)

   • Editor
     • The editor allows you to write and edit code, colour code keywords and autocomplete code
   • Compiler
     • Converts the source code into machine so it can work with the PC.
   • Interpreter
     • Translates source code line by line
   • Debugging
     • Identifies errors in your code and can highlight the location of the error/reason/ suggestions on how to fix the error
   • Features of IDE that help you
     • Line numbering,auto colour coding, auto correct and auto identation
   • Translator
     • Translated high level language into low level language

2. Differences of how a compiler and interpreter works

   • Interpreter runs the code one instruction at a time and returns the error taking it line by line
   • Compiler converts the program from one computer language to another and completes the code all at once
