What does a coder use when they make a program from scratch?

Question

I don’t understand what the starting point is. Do they just open a word document and start creating lines of code or is there some type of program that’s specifically used?

This is very easily googleable… And it very much depends on the language used.

For python and html, for instance, you’re likely to use a simple empty document. For C++, C# or Java, there’s usually software like Visual Studio, for instance.
