Run Time (program Lifecycle Phase)

Run Time (program Lifecycle Phase)

In computer science, run time, run-time, runtime, or execution time is the time during which a program is running (executing), in contrast to other phases of a program's lifecycle such as compile time, link time, load time, etc.

A run-time error is detected after or during the execution of a program, whereas a compile-time error is detected by the compiler before the program is ever executed. Type checking, storage allocation, code generation, and code optimization are typically done at compile time, but may be done at run time depending on the particular language and compiler.

Famous quotes containing the words run and/or time:

    Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxicabs and cutting hair.
    George Burns (b. 1896)

    She is a theme of honor and renown,
    A spur to valiant and magnanimous deeds,
    Whose present courage may beat down our foes,
    And fame in time to come canonize us.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
