   • Translators
     • The translator/interpreter is used to turn your high-level code into low-level code so that it is easier to understand.
     • A compiler is used to translate an entire piece of code at once even if there are errors in the code.
   • Run Time environment
     • Allows you to run your code quickly so that you can test to see that it works. This is used during iterative testing (Testing when you are developing the program.
   • Editor
     • It colour codes command words ,Auto indents code and sometimes it also autocomplete code as you type it
   • Error Diagnostics
     • It locates errors and suggests ways in which to fix it.
   • 1st Generation
     • Translates all of the original program code (source code) into an executable program (machine code).
   • 2nd Generation
   • 3rd Generation
     • uses a very simple command rather than a collection of numbers (the machine code) allowing humans to more easily read the code compared to the difficulty of looking at binary (1s and 0s).
