Understanding

Question

I came into this idea having no clue what I was doing, and I learned a bit, but I’m not sure what I learned, how to apply it, what languages are where where to put it, how to apply it, what are compilers and what are they , what do text editors do? What is an IDE and what does it stand for?

Answer 1

IDE stands for integrated development environment which means it provides environment for coding , compiling, running,debugging, error correction etc. All tools necessary ,library, version control etc are available in IDE

Text editor - Its a part in IDE where you can write and edit your code .

Compiler- It is used to convert higher level languages to low level language or (machine language that a machine can understand)

Answer 2

Note: English isn't my natural language.

There's are Compiler for All languages and you have to download it to run your script

For example Node.js
You're Going to download node.js compiler. (In your PC)

Then you'll create a file
With any name with extension (.js)
for example index.js
Here's the code for demo
console.log("Hello, World");
And save it anywhere you want
For example I'll save it in folder called demo

After that you'll need to run your code.
So you'll have to use the CMD
How?
1) go to the folder you saved your code then press SHIFT and click in any empty space
so you'll see the dropdown
And choose Open Command prompt here

Then you'll see the CMD
Type node index.js
(the name of the code file)
And press enter
so you'll have Hello, World
In the CMD

That's for example
If you trying to run C# or Python
There are Compiler for the both

but if you want it more easy no need to use cmd
You have to download an IDE
For example Visual Studio Community
It's an IDE i used it to Run c# code
