tools that you use when programming such as editors, debuggers, compilers, interpreters
etc. – as opposed to linkers and loaders (which I will not be covering).
As you have pointed out, these ‘utilities’ are in fact integrated
into most good programming languages GUI’s nowadays – but students
still need to be aware of them and what purpose/s they have. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
