Ava and Elizabeth are planning on using an IDE to create their program. Describe tools and facilities available in the IDE which can help them to identify and correct syntax errors.
Bracket matching. This is used for languages that use pairs of brackets to mark out blocks of code. It allows the code to be read and understood more quickly. If you forget to close a bracket while writing, coloured sections may help you to detect missing brackets.
Syntax checks. This recognises incorrect use of syntax and highlights any errors.
Auto-completion (or code completion). This is designed to save time while writing code. As you start to type the first part of a function, it suggests or completes the function and any arguments or variables.
