An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a software application that integrates multiple tools and functions required for software development.
It usually includes a code editor, compiler, debugger, automated build tools, and version control system, etc., aiming to provide a centralized development environment for software developers to develop, test, and debug software.
IDE makes programming more efficient and convenient by improving development efficiency, reducing errors, and improving code quality.
Common IDEs include Visual Studio, Eclipse, etc., which support multiple programming languages to meet the needs of different developers.
