What is IDE?
IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment. It's a software application that provides a comprehensive set of tools for software development in one place.
Key Features of an IDE:
Code Editor – Where you write your code (like a fancy Notepad with syntax highlighting, autocomplete, etc.).
Compiler/Interpreter – Converts your code into something the computer can understand.
Debugger – Helps you find and fix errors in your code.
Build Automation Tools – Automates tasks like compiling and packaging.
Version Control Integration – Connects with Git and other version control systems to track changes in your code.
Examples of IDEs:
Visual Studio Code (VS Code) – Lightweight, customizable, supports many languages.
It’s like a digital workshop for coding—makes the process smoother, faster, and less error-prone.
