Programming Tools and Techniques

Translators convert high-level programming languages into machine code.
Tools aid in creating error-free and maintainable code.
Large programs are complex to write.
Integrated development environments (IDEs) combine several tools.
IDEs assist with creating error-free and maintainable code.
IDE selection is based on programmer preference.
Editors help write and modify code; they boost readability but may not find errors.
Runtime environments (RTEs) allow programs to run on various systems regardless of where they are developed.
They create virtual machines that emulate different computer systems.
RTES let programmers focus solely on programming without system specifics.
Java Runtime Environment is a common RTE.
Debugging aids identify and fix program errors or bugs.
