(IDE) integrated development environment

An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software application that provides comprehensive facilities to software developers for software development. It integrates all the necessary tools and resources into a single platform, making it easier for developers to write, debug, and test software code. Some of the features that an IDE may provide include source code editors, compilers, debuggers, code completion, syntax highlighting, code generation, project management, and version control. IDEs are commonly used for various programming languages such as Java, C++, Python, and others.

Here is a list of some popular Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) that you can use for different programming languages:
