                      Key Features of MakeCode Editor
                      The MakeCode Editor offers a variety of tools to enhance your coding experience.

                      Some key features of MakeCode Editor are as follows:
                         Block-based coding: MakeCode has a block-based interface, where you can

                         drag and drop blocks to build your code. These blocks represent coding concepts
                         like  loops,  variables  and  logic,  making  it easy  to  understand.  It's  perfect  for
                         beginners who are just starting to learn programming.

                         Text-based  coding:  Once you're  comfortable  with  blocks,  MakeCode  lets
                         you  switch to  text-based  coding.  This lets you  view and edit  your code  in a
                         programming language, helping you understand more advanced coding.

                         Live preview: MakeCode shows you your project directly within the editor. You
                         can see how your project works in real time, without needing extra hardware. It’s

                         great for testing and fixing problems in your code quickly.
                         Hardware support: The platform works with physical devices like the micro:bit,

                         Adafruit Circuit Playground and LEGO Mindstorms. You can write your code on
                         the MakeCode Editor and upload it to these devices for hands-on learning.
                         Interactive  tutorials and  projects: MakeCode  offers many  tutorials  and

                         pre-made  projects.  These projects  range from simple  games  to  complex
                         animations, giving you a chance to experiment and learn by doing.
