A data analyst needs to make a quick modification to a Python script on a remote server through a command-line interface. The task does not require debugging, code completion, or project management features. Which of the following tool categories provides the most direct and lightweight solution for this task?
The correct answer is a text editor. A text editor is a lightweight program designed specifically for creating and modifying plain text files, such as source code or configuration files. For the task described, which involves a quick script modification without the need for advanced features, a text editor is the most efficient and direct tool.
An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) would be overkill for this scenario. IDEs are more resource-intensive as they bundle an editor with many other features like a debugger, compiler, and project management tools, none of which were required.
Business Intelligence (BI) software, such as Tableau or Power BI, is used for data visualization, dashboarding, and reporting, not for editing code scripts.
A Database Management System (DBMS), such as MySQL Workbench or DBeaver, is used to manage and query databases, not to edit standalone programming scripts.
