## IDE
Integrated Development Environment. This is mostly an editor but includes tools to check syntax, format code style, compile, and debug a program, which makes writing code easier.
## Human-readable

## Pointer

## Source Code
Source code is any collection of code, possibly with comments, written using a human-readable programming language, usually as plain text. The source code is often transformed by an assembler or compiler into binary machine code understood by the computer.
## Whitespace
Whitespace is the characters that you don't see when you type but are there anyway. For example, you can't see spaces, but there is a lot here. Newlines are also whitespace characters, as are tabs.
