 Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

A software that provides a programming environment to facilitate programmers in writing and executing computer programs is known as an Integrated Development Environment (IDE).


An IDE has a graphical user interface (GUI, meaning that a user can interact with using windows and buttons to provide input and get output. An IDE consists of tools that help a programmer throughout the phases of writing, executing and testing a computer program. This is achieved by combining text editors, compilers and debuggers in a single interface. 

Some of the many available IDEs for C programming language are:

1) Visual Studio

2) Xcode

3) Code:Blocks

4) DevC++

Text Editor

A text editor is a software that allows programmers to write ad edit computer programs. All IDEs have their own specific text editors. It is the main screen of Text editor Code::Blocks


Figure 1.2: Text editor in Code::Blocks

Figure 1.2 shows a basic C language program written in the text editor of IDE Code Blocks. When executed, this program displays Hello World! on computer screen. We have to save our file before it can be executed. We can click on the build and run button to see the program's output.

Here you can watch how to write, save, build, run 1st program code in C Language.
