Programming Languages and IDEs

e.g. Python Java Code is easy to read and understand Code has to be converted to machine code for computers to understand Programs will be less memory efficient as there is no control over what the CPU does.

e.g. Machine code and assembly language Difficult to read and understand Can be executed without translators More memory efficient as you control what the CPU does.

turn assembly language to machine code

translates all of the code in one go to create and executable file. Final code runs quickly and gives a list of errors.

Translates one line of code at a time and stops if there is an issue. Runs slower than compiler. Interpreter stops after each error which is helpful when debugging

Editors - has colour coding for different items and line numbers Run time environment - lets the programmer run the code quickly to test it for errors Error diagnostics - includes diagnostics tools to help find and solve errors. Translator - helps translate the code into machine code.
