Does macos come built in with the clang compiler or is built in with the xcode ide?
I just started got into coding and was curious if the clang compiler is built into the macos as of 2020 or if it is built in the XCode IDE? Is there anyway to confirm or check?

Clang and Xcode are not distributed in macOS distributions but are available as downloads from Apple. Xcode command-line developer tools can be downloaded, including Clang but without the full Xcode installation, by typing xcode-select -install in a Terminal window. The full Xcode is available at https://developer.apple.com/download/ (free account required).
