How to Run and Test your Sourcecode Online

by Kyle on January 3, 2010

For students and programmers who always keep up with their busy schedule, having a tool to check if their source code is error free is a great way to save time. Usually laptops and netbooks are good testing ground to check if a source code works perfectly, but most people can’t afford to buy one. Also, working in public computer shops requires you to have an installed compiler and IDE to work with their assignment. Good thing there’s an IDE out there perfect for programmers and coders to help their assignment if they need an urgent test to their code files.

A coder’s best friend, IDEone eliminates worries of looking for a testing ground for their source code to work. What you just need is a browser and an internet connection and there it is, problem solved. You have a working IDE with a built in checker(compiler?) if your code runs error free.

How to use IDEone?

Choose language, paste code and input data (optionally), choose whether your code ought to be executed and whether it ought to be private and click submit button. Then watch your code being executed, share it with your team or friends, or run it again with new input to debug.

At the time of this writing,  IDEone  supports 39 programming languages and is currently expanding. It’s still in beta phase, so most languages are currently being tested. Compilation time is 10 seconds and execution is 5s. There’s a memory constraint of 256mb and reading/writing files is prohibited. Syntax highlighting and a privacy setting is available as of the moment.

If you want a heavy duty IDE you can also take a look to a list of browser based IDEs with a much smaller scope of programming languages supported.
