Jake there are offline IDE apps for smartphones as well, i use one called "AIDE" android integrated development environment which allows me to write java console and android apps and it includes real time compilation error checking and a interactive console, there is even a seperate downloadable plugin for c/c++ support and a web version of the app for html css and JavaScript

Mind To Machine 💻🕆 thats really cool, I didnt know that; I guess its not surprise android would allow such tools. I have an iPhone and havent had any luck finding an IDE with an offline compiler (that supports java)

There are a lot of restrictions and drawbacks to using an online compiler (phone) as opposed to your computer. To name a few: 1, using an IDE on your computer will allow you to catch mistakes AS you write your code as opposed to only seeing your errors after you hit the run button. 2, online compilers arent always entirely descriptive or accurate when they’re telling you what went wrong with your code or why it is not working (exception handling) 3, online compilers don’t allow a “constant conversation” for ecample, when using user input, you have to enter all your input after starting your program (and even this doesnt always work) as opposed to entering your input at the point of which the compiler executes those lines of code. learning and practicing on your phone is great, but to optimize your learning experience and effectiveness, your best best would definitely be primarily using a computer when possible
