Integrated development environments (IDEs)
Integrated development environments (IDEs) help format code, organize projects, compile programs, and more. IDEs provide features that encourage the software development process by allowing the programmer to focus mostly on the code. With common features such as syntax highlighting, file management, automatic code completion, etc., managing and writing programs often becomes simpler.
