    Study Notes

    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.
