-->%blue%Correct.%% An IDE typically has a text editor, file list in a project structure, debug capability to step through code, syntax highlighting, function documentation, and other features to help with programming specifics.

'''2.''' What are common programming environments for Python? Select all that apply.
->'''A.''' Jupyter Notebook
-->(:toggle hide q2a button show="Select":)
(:div id=q2a:)
-->%blue%Correct.%% Jupyter notebooks run through a web-browser interface with code and markdown (comment) cells.
(:divend:)
->'''B.''' Python script with .py extension
-->(:toggle hide q2b button show="Select":)
(:div id=q2b:)
-->%blue%Correct.%% Python programs with a ''.py'' extension can be run from a command prompt with ''python program_name.py''
(:divend:)
->'''C.''' VSCode with Python or Notebook Extension
-->(:toggle hide q2c button show="Select":)
(:div id=q2c:)
-->%blue%Correct.%% VSCode can run Python and many other programming languages. The language is configured the first time a ''.py'' (python) or ''.ipynb'' (IPython notebook) is opened in VSCode.
(:divend:)
->'''D.''' Spyder
-->(:toggle hide q2d button show="Select":)
(:div id=q2d:)

'''3.''' Which types of errors are easier to identify?
->'''A.''' Syntax programming errors
-->(:toggle hide q3a button show="Select":)
(:div id=q3a:)
-->%blue%Correct.%% The Python interpreter can typically pinpoint the location in the code or nearest line (missing parenthesis, misspelled functions) where there is an error.
(:divend:)
->'''B.''' Logical programming errors
-->(:toggle hide q3b button show="Select":)
(:div id=q3b:)
-->%red%Incorrect.%% Logical errors are not typically caught by the program because it often runs to a successful, yet incorrect, result.
