Also written as Integrated Development Environment
A software application (like VS Code or IntelliJ) that provides developers with tools for writing, testing, and debugging code in one place.
Think of it like
Like a fully equipped workshop with every tool within arm's reach, instead of a bare table where you fetch each tool from a shed one at a time.
