Can i test my coding skills using ides like intellij

Question

I think they can help me learn syntax . but what about sparking up ideas .

Answer 1

Using an IDE on your local machine is ideal for programming/learning those types of languages. As for coming up with ideas, the only way IntelliJ would help with that is if you think of things you don't like about IntelliJ and decided to create the fixes yourself. Otherwise it's just a code editor.
As I mentioned to someone else recently, a good method is to think of things in a problem/solution type of way. So instead of trying to come up with solutions first, find some problems first and then come up with solutions for them. It's hard to resolve a problem you're unaware of.
If you want a simple problem to solve... I need a console based program written in Java. I need for it to keep the prompt open for input until I type 'exit' or 'esc' or 'q'. I want options that allow for me to input certain text that I want stored into a text file on my local machine. I also want the ability for it to read the text from that file and print it to my screen.
That's a simple problem that you can use to exercise your skills and work on your problem solving skills.

that's why I thought of ide in app building and exercising and applying the skill learnt there .
