If you know the programming languages. So, you should also have some knowledge about IDEs and Compilers, But if you do not don't worry about this the blog you will know all you need to know.
 
IDE



IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment. IDE is an application software which gives the facility to computer programmers to build software. An IDE consists of at least a source code editor, build automation tools, and a debugger. 
A source code editor is a text editing software that is mainly used to write the source code of computer programs. Build automation is a process of automating the creation of a software build and the associated processes including: compiling computer source code into binary code, packing binary code, and running automated codes. A debugger is a computer program that is used to test and debug the target computer programs. The main use of the debugger is to run the target program under limited conditions that allow the programmer to track its operations in progress and monitor changes in computer resources that may show malfunctioning code. 
IDEs like Visual Studio Code, Eclipse, Code::Blocks, Code lite, NetBeans8 are the most generally used IDEs.

Compiler

The compiler is a computer program that translates a computer code written in any programming language into the target language. The Compiler works like a translater between a human and a computer. It converts high-level language into a low-level language also called assembly language or machine language to create an executable program. Compiler like Borland C++
Visual C++
Dev C++
Eclipse
GCC
are the most popularly used C language compilers.
