04 - Common Tools in an IDE

 1. IDE stands for Integrated Development Entity

  FALSE

  TRUE

 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

  TRUE

  FALSE

 3. The image below is showing a typical IDE

  FALSE

  TRUE

 4. One of the tools of an IDE is:

  a code editor

  a physical programmer

  an ASCII table

  None of these apply

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

  code completion, line numbering, keyword colouring etc.

  filling in blocks, picture recognition, pen writing

  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

  None of these apply

   output console

  input minch

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

  catch the errors at the machine code stage and destroy them

  test the code for errors

  test the code for physical bugs like moths or spiders

  entirely remove any trace of errors

 9. Features of a good debugger include:

  using blockage tunnels that prevent syntax errors from occuring

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

  using dots and lines to confuse the bugs

  stopping errors from occuring ever

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

  FALSE

  TRUE
