Integrated Development Environment (IDE)



Integrated Development Environment:-
                         
                An integrated development environment (IDE), also known as integrated design environment and integrated debugging environment, is a type of computer software that assists computer programmers in developing software.
IDEs normally consist of a source code editor, a compiler and/or interpreter, build-automation tools, and (usually) a debugger.

Source code editor: It is a text editor program designed specifically for editing source code of computer programs by programmers. Source code editors may have features specifically designed to simplify and speed up input of source code, such as syntax highlighting and auto complete.

Compiler: It is a computer program (or set of programs) that translates text written in a computer language (the source language) into another computer language (the target language).

Interpreter: It is a computer program that executes, or performs, instructions written in a computer programming language.

Debugger: It is a computer program that is used to test and debug other programs.
