What is an IDE?
An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is software that provides tools to help programmers write, test, and debug code.
List four common features of an IDE.
• Editor: A text area for writing code. • Error Diagnostics: Shows syntax and logic errors. • Debugger: Helps identify and fix bugs. • Translator: Compiles or interprets the code to run it.
What are breakpoints in an IDE?
Breakpoints are set by programmers to pause the execution of code at specific lines, so they can inspect variables and understand program flow.
What is a variable watch?
It allows the programmer to monitor the value of a variable as the program runs, helping track bugs or logic errors.
How does stepping through code help debugging?
It allows the programmer to execute code line-by-line, checking how the program behaves at each step.
