what is an IDE
An integrated development environment (IDE)
is software for building applications that combines
common developer tools into a single graphical user interface (GUI).
An IDE typically consists of:
Source code EDITOR:
- syntax highlighting
- language specific auto-completion
- checking for bugs as code is being written.
AUTOMTION:
simple, repeatable tasks as
creating a local build
compiling, packaging, running automated tests.
DEBUGGER:
testing programs
display the location of a bug in the original code.
