04 - Common Tools in an IDE

 1. IDE stands for Integrated Development Entity

  TRUE

  FALSE

 2. What does an IDE do? It brings together all the tools necessary for coding into one application.
Here's an interesting clip on IDEs if you're interested in delving furher

  FALSE

  TRUE

 3. The image below is showing a typical IDE

  FALSE

  TRUE

 4. One of the tools of an IDE is:

  None of these apply

  a code editor

  a physical programmer

  an ASCII table

 5. A good code editor will come with tools like:

  filling in blocks, picture recognition, pen writing

  code completion, line numbering, keyword colouring etc.

  the ability to write directly in machine code

  facial recogintion, physical touch sensors, complex graphical game design

 6. A run time environment emulates a CPU within the IDE. This lets you …

  run code through all core processors

  run code without having to compile it and saves a lot of time

  run code directly in machine code

  actually pass code through the CPU

 7. The 'run time environment' is sometimes called the:

  constant executioner

   output console

  input minch

  None of these apply

 8. A good IDE will have a debugger which is used to …

  test the code for errors

  entirely remove any trace of errors

  catch the errors at the machine code stage and destroy them

  test the code for physical bugs like moths or spiders

 9. Features of a good debugger include:

  stopping errors from occuring ever

  using blockage tunnels that prevent syntax errors from occuring

  using dots and lines to confuse the bugs

  single stepping through code, creating break points, highlighting errors in a colour etc.

 10. A translator of some sort will also be part of an IDE- either an inbuilt compiler or interpreter

  FALSE

  TRUE
