This document discusses the components of an integrated development environment (IDE). It describes the key components as a source code editor, compiler, linker, interpreter, debugger, and GUI builder. It then provides more detail on what each of these components are and how they function within an IDE. The source code editor is for writing and editing code with features like syntax highlighting. The compiler transforms source code into machine-readable object code. The linker combines object files into a single executable file. An interpreter executes code directly while a debugger helps troubleshoot issues. A GUI builder is for developing graphical user interfaces.

- 2. An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software application that provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally comprises of a source code editor,compiler,linker,interpreter,debugger & GUI builder ; termed as components. Some of the IDEs are Eclipse IDE ,Microsoft Visual Studio ,Dev-Cpp ,Turbo C / C++ Builder etc.
- 3. There are various components of IDE in which some are specific to a particular IDE while some are common to all; means general components. 1. SOURCE CODE EDITOR 2. COMPILER 3. LINKER 4. INTERPRETER 5. DEBUGGER 6. GUI BUILDER
- 4. WHAT? A source code editor is a text editor program designed specifically for editing source code of computer programs by programmers. It may be a standalone application or it may be built into an integrated development environment (IDE).
- 5. The IDE window includes three sub-windows: the Project Files Explorer, the Result Tabs, and the Source Code Editor The editor highlights with different colour keywords and other elements of the C language. It uses: Light blue for comments Green for included libraries Red for text strings Bold black for C keywords
- 7. WHAT? A compiler is a computer program that transforms source code written in a programming language into object code of target language. In short, a compiler converts a program from a human-readable format into a machine- readable format.
- 8. The overall working of a compiler is too broad; but in brief we can understand in following four terms. 1. Lexing – that break up the text of the program into "tokens" 2. Parsing – that convert the sequence of tokens into a parse tree 3. Optimization – that evaluate constant expressions, and optimize unused variables or unreachable code . 4. Code generation-that translate the parse tree into machine instructions
- 11. WHAT? A linker is a computer program that takes one or more object files generated by a compiler and combines them into a single executable file. A program used to provide links to the libraries needed for an executable program.
- 12. To run a program, the source code must be compiled and linked. Dev-Cpp performs the complete process by clicking the compile&run button (or F11). While the compilation and link process is being performed, the IDE shows a dialog box with related information. If the process is successful, the window shows the message Done.
