IDE's
When we write a program, we use a software package that makes writing the program easily. An IDE is a program that we use to program a program!
Common Features of an IDE:
- Code Editor: Area in IDE which allows you to enter code. It formats the program so it is easier to understand. Adds colour to the code and does things such as indentation.
- Error Diagnostics: Displays pop ups and places cursor where errors occur in the program. Such as syntax errors. Displays before program actually runs.
- Run Time Environment: Allows program to run whilst still in development to check for logical errors etc.
- Compiler: Converts program (source code) to machine code so it can be run on the computer.
- Auto Documentation: Records errors that have occurred during programming so they can be referenced when updates are being carried out later.
