Programming Languages

1. IDE

   • Integrated Development Environment
   • Examples
     • IDLE
     • PyCharm
     • PyScript
   • Editor
     • Allows you to edit your code while making it easier to use for the user, using automatic colour coding, automatic indentation, automatic variable word completion, etc
   • Error Diagnostics
     • Checks for errors when you use an interpreter or a compiler. A compiler would check overall, but an interpreter would run until the code finishes, or until it encounters an error
   • Run-Time Environment
     • Allows your code to be run within an IDE, making it faster to run without compiling it, as it is built into it
   • Translator
     • Translates a high level programming language to a low level programming language
     • Interpreter
       • Translates high level programming language to a low level programming language, line by line. It stops either when it encounters an error, or until it reaches the end
     • Compiler
       • Translates high level programming language to a low level programming language, all in one go, and produce an executable file

2. High Level Programming Language

   • Scratch
   • C++
   • Javascript
   • C
   • Designed for Humans
   • Python

3. Low Level Programming Language

   • Designed for Computers
     • Binary
     • Assembly
     • Machine Code
