I realized, when just asking a question, I don't understand all the components that are part of the coding process.

This seems a silly question, but I can't find a definitive answer on Google, Wiki, nothing.

What exactly are all the parts called, and how do they work and intertwine? I'm talking whatever you type code into, whatever checks that for errors, compiles it, and runs it.

I'd appreciate any links, repeats, etc. I apologize for such a bland, stupid question.
