IDEs
IDEs
• An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software
for building applications
• Provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers
for software development
• Combines common developer tools into a single graphical
user interface (GUI)
IDEs
• An IDE typically consists of at least:
− Source code editor
− Build automation tools
− Debugger
• May also have:
− Visual GUI designer
− Class/object browser
− Version control
Some Popular IDEs
• Visual Studio
• Eclipse
• VSCode
• PyCharm
• NetBeans
• Android Studio
• Xcode
Why Use IDEs?
• Speed up development
• Organize development workflows
• Reduce errors
• Ability to debug
• Improve Code quality
Features of IDEs
• Syntax highlighting
− An IDE that knows the syntax of your language can provide
visual cues

• Code completion
− IDE knows your programming language, it can suggest what
you’re going to type next
Features of IDEs
• Debugging
− Allow programmers to examine different variables and inspect
their code at run time

• Refactoring
− Restructuring existing code to improve structure, performance
and readability

• Building Executables
PyCharm
• PyCharm is an IDE specifically for the Python
language
• Available on Windows, macOS and Linux
• Community version is free
• Supports web and other developments
PyCharm
Debugging
• Code we write doesn’t always do what we expected it
to do
− Have to figure out what is wrong
− Easier and efficient to use a debugging tool, or debugger
• Debugging means to run your code step by step in a
debugging tool, to find the exact point where you made
a programming mistake
Debugging
• Break points
− A breakpoint indicates to pause your running code so you
can take a look at the values of variables

• Stepping
− Stepping is the action of telling the debugger to advance
through your program
Debugging
• Watch
− Monitor the values of variables and expressions

• Call Stack
− Tail of function calls in the program at a time
