runtime
Program's active phase
Runtime refers to the period when a computer program is actually executing, as opposed to when it's being written or compiled.
A runtime error occurs during this execution phase, not when code is being checked beforehand.
Runtime also names the software environment that supports program execution, handling memory and other resources: Java programs need the Java runtime installed.
In entertainment contexts, runtime simply means duration: The movie's runtime is two hours and fifteen minutes.
