An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a software application that allows developers to design, build, test, and debug computer programs within one environment.
A text editor, terminal, debugging tools, and code snippets are tools that may be included in an IDE. Many IDEs include additional extensions and tools for specific programming languages.
