What Are The Programming Software Tools?

The Programming software tool is a simple program or application. The software developers used these programming tools to create, debug, and maintain other programs and applications. The programming tool is also called as software development tool. The programming software tools help a programmer to write a computer program.

Programming software tools:
The different types of programming software tools are compilers, debuggers, interpreters, linkers, and text editors.
  • Compiler: A program which transforms the source code from higher-level language to lower-lever language is called as compiler. The program which can be transforms the source code from lower level language to higher-level language is called as decompiler. The compiler means set of programs. The main function of compiler is to translate the source code.
  • Debuggers: It is a computer program and it can be used to test and debug other programs. The functions of debuggers are full or partial simulations, running a programming step by step and stopping.
  • Interpreters: Interpreter is a computer program that executes the source code and translates the source code. Interpreters execute the program based on instructions written in a programming language.
  • Linkers: The objects which are generated by compiler are combines by linkers to execute the program. The operating system environment allows the dynamic linking. The main advantage of dynamic linking is that the error in library is corrected by replacing the library.
  • Text editor: It is a computer program that helps in editing of plain text files. And it can also be used to change configuration of files and programming language code.
