Intergrated Development Environment

Intergrated Development Environment

1. Translators

   • A translator is something that converts high level code to low level code.
   • A complier something that converts the code all in one go.
   • An assembler converts assembly code into machine code
   • An interpreter converts the code line by line and shows errors as soon as it hits a problem

2. Codes

   • high level code is a programming language designed to simplify computer programming. eg. Python
   • low level code is programming language not simplified, and does not a translator to convert to machine code. eg. Binary
   • Machine code is the lowest level of code. other programming languages are converted to machine code so the computer can understand/execute them

3. IDE Purpose

   • enables programmers to consolidate the different aspect of programming

4. Source code editor

   • Organises the code, such as syntax check, bracket matching, indents and colour coding.

5. Error diagnostics and debugger

   • Identifies probelms in the code and lists errors using warnings

6. Run-time environment

   • Allows developer to run the code during development. Allows time to check errors and functionality
