runtime error
Program mid-crash
A runtime error is a problem that occurs while a program is executing, as opposed to when it's being compiled or loaded.
The program may crash, freeze, or produce unexpected results.
Common causes include dividing by zero, accessing memory that doesn't exist, or running out of resources: The app kept throwing runtime errors until we fixed the null pointer issue.
