This document discusses the components of an integrated development environment (IDE). It describes the key components as a source code editor, compiler, linker, interpreter, debugger, and GUI builder. It then provides more detail on what each of these components are and how they function within an IDE. The source code editor is for writing and editing code with features like syntax highlighting. The compiler transforms source code into machine-readable object code. The linker combines object files into a single executable file. An interpreter executes code directly while a debugger helps troubleshoot issues. A GUI builder is for developing graphical user interfaces.

2.  An integrated development environment (IDE)
is a software application that provides
comprehensive facilities to computer
programmers for software development.
 An IDE normally comprises of a source code
editor,compiler,linker,interpreter,debugger &
GUI builder ; termed as components.
 Some of the IDEs are Eclipse IDE ,Microsoft
Visual Studio ,Dev-Cpp ,Turbo C / C++
Builder etc.

3. There are various components of IDE in which
some are specific to a particular IDE while
some are common to all; means general
components.
1. SOURCE CODE EDITOR
2. COMPILER
3. LINKER
4. INTERPRETER
5. DEBUGGER
6. GUI BUILDER

4. WHAT?
A source code editor is a
text editor program designed specifically for
editing source code of computer programs by
programmers.
It may be a standalone application or it may
be built into an integrated development
environment (IDE).

5. The IDE window includes three sub-windows: the
Project Files Explorer, the Result Tabs, and
the Source Code Editor
The editor highlights with different colour
keywords and other elements of the C
language. It uses:
 Light blue for comments
 Green for included libraries
 Red for text strings
 Bold black for C keywords

7. WHAT?
A compiler is a computer program that
transforms source code written in a
programming language into object code of
target language.
In short, a compiler converts a program from a
human-readable format into a machine-
readable format.

8. The overall working of a compiler is too broad;
but in brief we can understand in following four
terms.
1. Lexing – that break up the text of the program
into "tokens"
2. Parsing – that convert the sequence of tokens
into a parse tree
3. Optimization – that evaluate constant
expressions, and optimize unused variables or
unreachable code .
4. Code generation-that translate the parse tree
into machine instructions

11. WHAT?
A linker is a computer program that
takes one or more object files generated by
a compiler and combines them into a single
executable file.
A program used to provide links to the
libraries needed for an executable program.

12.  To run a program, the source code must be
compiled and linked. Dev-Cpp performs the
complete process by clicking the compile&run
button (or F11).
 While the compilation and link process is
being performed, the IDE shows a dialog box
with related information. If the process is
successful, the window shows the message
Done.
