IDE Integrated Development Environment

For developing a software application, mainly three things are required:

1. Editor
2. Compiler
3. Runtime environment

First, a text editor application like Notepad to write the code, second, a compiler to compile the code or software like an interpreter to interpret it and third, a runtime environment with helps the application to run the application.

Integrated Development Environment(IDE) is an application that provides all these three things together and with its help the developer is able to develop his application easily. In fact, Integrated Development Environment provides such an environment due to which it becomes easy for the developer to develop the application. 

As we have seen that to develop any application, we need Notepad text editor to write the code, compiler interpreter to compile or interpret and the required runtime environment to run the application. All these things are available in the Integrated Development Environment and the developer does not have to open different applications separately again and again to work. This facilitates the development work of software developers.

Thus, Integrated Development Environment, IDE, is an organized environment under which facilitates the development of a software application. 

Hope you have understood the benefits of IDE. 😊
