To write programs, you need an editor, which acts like a special word processor just for helping you write commands in your favorite programming language. After you type your program commands in an editor, you can save this file (known as the source code). Then, you can feed this source code file into a compiler to turn it into a working program.

You can choose from two types of editors: stand-alone or integrated development environment (IDE). Your best bet probably depends on whether you write programs in more than one programming language.
