#### Review Questions
1. How is a source code editor different from an IDE

#review
# Integrated Development Environments
## Source code editors
- editor applications to help software development
- provide features that help editing code
- auto indent, bracket matching, syntax hl, auto completion, rapid navigation
- run/test code
## Integrated dev env
- allow you to remain within one application when carrying out software development work
- can edit source files
- can compile source files
- can run debugger
- integrates version management
- some attach tools to running applications
### LSP - syntax highlighting
- allows IDE's to communicate with a "language enging"
- ides dont need
shift from syntac to semantics
e.g.,
- vs code chck file on opening
- lsp reports type mismatches
- rich editor functionality
- autocompletion with appropriate context
- information displayed on mouse hover
- jumping to definitions on mouse hover
- safe refactoring -> better than blind search and replace
- diagnosticso -> e.g., display results of unit tests within editor
### Navigation
- within files
- bracket matching
- block folding
- multi file
- multiple files at the same time
- rapidly jump between files
- search across all files
- collaboration e.g., live sharing
### Modern IDEs
- microsoft
- vscode -> free open source, highly popular
- visual studio -> integrates mobile and cloud development
- java enivronments
- eclipse - early leader in java, supports other languages
- netbeans -> also includes web dev tooling
- jetbrains -> IntelliJ IDEA, pycharm, phpstorm
- google's android studio -> official android IDE
- apple's Xcode -> free, macOS/iOS focus
## Early programming
- dedicated machines
- punched card programmer: separate machine from computer than reads cards
- punched cards recore code and or data in binary
- grid of positions, each representing a binary digit (bit)
- each position in punches out, or not
- analgogue electronic devices where you phsyicall wire things up
- gaining interest now for use in machine learning
### Bootstrapping
- already built tools can be used to builder better tools for building better tools etc.
- e.g., first assembler was made in maching code. But after that they could use the assember to make a better assembler
### Early dev environments
- command line based
- text based terminals
- command shell is the running application
- Can use terminal to drive interactive languages
- can edit, store software code
- can compile cose and run resulting executables
- it is still practical to do software development this way
- vim etc
