The Code Editor in an IDE allows writing, editing, and formatting code with features like syntax
highlighting
A debugger in an IDE helps identify and fix errors in the code by allowing
step-by-step
execution.
True
What does version control enable in an IDE?
Collaboration among developers
How do IDE tools improve programmer productivity?
By streamlining the workflow

machine-executable
code.
True
What does build automation reduce in software deployment?
Manual effort
IDE tools improve programmer productivity by streamlining the software development
workflow
Code folding allows collapsing and expanding sections of
code

source
of errors.
True
How does an IDE improve programmer productivity?
Reduces time and effort
What does syntax highlighting in a code editor use to make code easier to read?
Different colors
Step-by-step execution in a debugger allows observation of how the program
executes
Version control allows developers to revert to previous versions of the codebase.
True
Developers can perform common version control tasks directly within the IDE, without switching
tools

codebase
Package management in IDEs allows developers to install, update, and remove software
packages
Header comments in code documentation describe the file and its
purpose
Integration with external tools in IDEs streamlines
workflows
and improves collaboration among developers.
