Code editors and Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) are ways you can edit and run code. Most “IDEs” you will see are actually just code editors, where you can only edit the code, and they have interpreters to compile the code but do not actually compile the code itself. The most popular of the code editors, is Microsoft Visual Studio CODE (not to be confused with Microsoft Visual Studio, the IDE for software developers).
Other code editors include:
My code editor of choice, is Visual Studio Code. It has extensions that allow you to customize your experience as well as git directly integrated, allowing you to do version control internally.
