What is a runtime environment in programming?
In: 7
The runtime environment is code that runs as part of your application, that implements some feature of the language that you wrote your code in.
For example, the language design of C# assumes that there is a garbage collector that finds and reclaims objects that your application no longer refers to. The code that makes up that garbage collector is run as part of your application and is considered part of the runtime environment.
