IDE(Integrated Development Environment)

The Integrated Development Environment IDE is an organized environment under which it is possible to develop a software application easily. It mainly requires three things: first, text editor application like notepad to write program code, second software like compiler to compile or interpreter to interpret code, and third, runtime environment in which the developed application could be run successfully.

The Integrated Development Environment is an application that provides all these three facilities to facilitate the developer to develop the application. In other words, the Integrated Development Environment provides an environment that makes it easier for developers to develop the applications. As we have seen, for developing any application, writing a code requires a notepad text editor, compile or compiler interpreter to interpolate and the runtime environment is required to run the application, then all these components are available in integrated form in the IDE.
