Bog'liq IDEsAutomation of code editing
Programming languages have rules for structuring statements. Because the IDE knows these rules, it contains many intelligent functions to automatically write or edit source code.
Syntax highlighting
The IDE can format written text by automatically making certain words bold or italic, or using different font colors. These visual cues make the source code more readable and instantly alert you to occasional syntax errors.
Intelligent Code Completion
When you start typing words into a search engine, various search terms appear. Similarly, the IDE may prompt you to complete code input when the developer starts typing.
Refactoring support
Code refactoring is the process of restructuring source code to make it more efficient and readable without changing its core functionality. IDEs can use auto-refactoring to some extent, allowing developers to quickly and easily improve their code. Other team members understand readable code faster, which promotes collaboration within the team.
Local build automation
IDEs improve programmers' productivity by performing repetitive development tasks that are typically part of every code change. Below are examples of regular coding tasks that the IDE performs.
Compilation
The IDE compiles or converts code into a simplified language that the operating system can understand. Some programming languages implement just-in-time compilation, where the IDE converts human-readable code into machine code within the application.
Testing
The IDE allows developers to automate unit tests locally before the software is integrated with other developers' code and more complex integration tests are run.
Debugging
Debugging is the process of correcting any errors or defects that testing reveals. One of the greatest benefits of an IDE for debugging purposes is that you can go through your code line by line as it runs and check the behavior of the code. The IDE also comes with several built-in debugging tools that detect problems caused by human error in real time, even while the developer is typing.
