Nowadays science and technology are developing. More and more people choose to use computer programming to complete their work. When writing computer language, programming software is usually needed. It is very important to choose a good programming software for work. The most important thing is to choose the most suitable software. This paper will analyze how to choose suitable and easy-to-use programming software. Idea and Eclipse software will be compared through this article.
Eclipse is an open source, Java-based extensible development platform. Eclipse comes with a standard set of plug-ins, including Java development tools. Idea is an integrated environment for Java programming language development. Next, let's compare the differences between the two kinds of software.s
1. Software memory
Eclipse has hundreds of megabytes of memory. Idea needs several gigabytes of memory. Naturally, Idea requires a higher computer configuration than Eclipse. For novice learning software, you can learn with Eclipse first.
2. Payment for software use
Eclipse is a free download product. And Idea is a paid product. For novice learning software, you can use Eclipse first. You can observe whether you are suitable for learning and using programming software. So as you can learn and use the programming software at a deeper level.
3. Shortcut key
Idea has a shortcut theme. And it comes with Eclipse shortcut theme. You can configure the shortcut key the same as Eclipse. If you modify some shortcut keys, it will be automatically saved as an instance. And you can find out which shortcut keys have been modified. Eclipse can configure shortcuts, but there is no shortcut theme. Therefore, in the future programming, Idea is more convenient and faster than Eclipse.
4. Code automatic prompt and complement
Idea is smarter, sharper and more contextual at work. And Idea can search the whole project, analyze all contents, and construct syntax tree. No matter where the mouse is placed. Idea knows where the content is and what it can do there. Eclipse needs to use the shortcut Alt + or Ctrl + 1. Then it can display everything that begins with a key letter in global view.
5. Debugging
In the use of Idea, first moving the cursor to the expression. And then pressing Alt+F8, a dialog window will be displayed. Finally, it will give the expression you may need. There are some of the suggested parameter variables it gives. And the value of the expression is also showed.
Eclipse needs to select the entire expression, or it can't find its value. You can also use Ctrl+ Shift +I to see the value of this expression. Overall, through 4.5 points, the operation of Idea is more intelligent. When you choose advanced programming, you can consider Idea software.
When people choose programming software, they often fall into a tangle. At this time, we need to analyze the differences between the software. Then we can choose the appropriate software to work. In fact, both Idea and Eclipse software have their own advantages and disadvantages. Users need to choose their own programming software according to their level and needs.
