An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software application that provides facilities to aid in software development. An IDE typically includes a source code editor, build automation tools, and a debugger. Some IDEs also contain a compiler and/or interpreter. The features included in an IDE can vary, but many modern IDEs contain tools like a class browser and object hierarchy diagram to aid in object-oriented development.

2. •An integrated development environment (IDE)
is a software application that provides
comprehensive facilities to computer
programmers for software development. An IDE
normally consists of at least a source code
editor, build automation tools and a debugger.
Some IDEs, such as NetBeans and Eclipse,
contain the necessary compiler, interpreter, or
both; others, such as SharpDevelop and Lazarus,
do not.

3. •The boundary between an IDE and other
parts of the broader software development
environment is not well-defined; sometimes
a version control system or various tools to
simplify the construction of a graphical user
interface (GUI) are integrated. Many modern
IDEs also have a class browser, an object
browser, and a class hierarchy diagram for
use in object-oriented software
development.
