Ans: A software development kit (SDK) is typically a set of software development tools whch acts as a platform to start building and developing your application.It includes mainly three things---
1) An IDE (Integrated Development Environment): it is code editor which allows you to write and edit code eg Eclipse.
2) Performance tools: These include tools for measuring performance, bug finding and also memory leak finding.
3) Build tools:You can use the build tools to build the code into binary package, which can be turned into an app which can then be uploaded.
SDKs also includes sample code and supporting technical notes or other supporting documentation.
Example:
1) iOS xcode for apple devices, visual studios for windows are popular Software Development Kits.
2) The JDK can be called as a subset of a software development kit (SDK).It includes "tools for developing, debugging, and monitoring Java applications".
