     • error diagnostics
       • Allows you to debug your code and shows syntax errors
     • Run time environment
       • Run your code in the IDE so you can quickly test it with out compiling it to an executable.
     • Editor
       • Allows you to write and edit code
         • Editor makes it easier to write code by...
           • colouring command word such as input and print.It also colours strings.
     • translator
       • translates high level code to low level
         • interpreter

       • Assembly language
         • mnemonics
