By a programming system is meant a whole complex, or system, of software tools designed to develop and debug new programs. The creation of the final product in these systems is performed using one of the programming languages. Such complexes greatly facilitate the work on programs, making the specialist’s work more visual and productive.
What is programming?
By programming we mean designing, developing, writing and debugging new programs. A program is understood as a sequence of commands, after which a certain result is achieved by computer technology . Now even schoolchildren know that a computer and other computer equipment react to commands that are given in a special machine language. All signals are encrypted using a binary code consisting of a set of zeros and ones. Of course, it would be difficult for specialists to write full-fledged work programs using such a complex and cumbersome type of recording. Therefore, special programming languages were invented containing a strictly defined set of commands.
Programming languages
Commands written in programming languages are converted into machine code (the language of zeros and ones) using special programs - translators. The same translators incorporate a programming system. There were a great many such languages. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages. So, the C language (C ++) is more often used by system programmers. For the development of Internet applications using html or php.
What is included in the complex, called a programming system
Under a programming system is understood a whole complex of programs that facilitate the work of a specialist. Moreover, programming languages and systems are closely interconnected. The composition of such a system necessarily includes the following components:
- translator program (interpreter, compiler);
- A special editor for entering and changing program text;
- development environment;
- Built-in libraries of standard functions and procedures;
- software package for debugging applications;
- reference.
Modern programming systems are necessarily equipped with a visual environment that facilitates the development process. They offer specialists a whole range of standard forms on which elements such as input fields, buttons, switches can be placed. It is possible to create your own components and save them in library and resource files. Libraries of functions that any programming system is equipped with can significantly simplify development through the use of whole pieces of prepared code. Debugging is one of the most time-consuming and difficult stages of development of any application, also in those cases when a programming system is used. Built-in debuggers help you quickly find a piece of code that is unstable, and make changes.
Complex programs, such as Delphi, Visual Si, Turbo Pascal, Visual Basic and others, are designed to help application developers of various levels, from simple enough to complex and system.
