Integrated Development Environment
An IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is a software tool that helps programmers write, test, and debug code more efficiently. Think of it as a “workspace” that combines essential tools like a code editor (where you type code), a compiler/interpreter (which turns code into programs), debugging tools (to find and fix errors), and other features like auto-complete or project organization. Instead of juggling separate programs, an IDE bundles everything into one place, making coding faster and easier.
Popular examples are as follows:
- Eclipse
- IntelliJ IDEA
- Apache NetBeans
- Visual Studio
- Spyder
- jGRASP
