Run Time Error

What Does Runtime Error Mean?

Runtime error refers to an error that takes place while executing a program. As
opposed to the compilation errors that occur during a program compilation,
runtime errors occur only during the execution of the program. Runtime errors
imply bugs in the program or issues that the developers had expected but were
unable to correct. For example, insufficient memory can often trigger a runtime
error.

Runtime errors usually appear in a message box that includes a specific error code
coupled with its corresponding description. It is quite common that the computer
becomes noticeably slow prior to the appearance of a runtime error.

Runtime Error Explanation


When an issue occurs and the software is unable to solve it, it generates a
runtime error. Here, the error is generated by that specific software, not by the
OS. By means of a self-assessment mechanism known as a trap, the software
performs self-diagnosis and recognizes that it cannot proceed further, leading to a
runtime error. When the runtime error is displayed and closed, the corresponding
software is usually exited or frozen. In some instances, the OS is rebooted.

There are various reasons behind a runtime error. Some of them are as follows:

 Clashes between terminate and stay resident programs (TSR)


 Issues caused by running applications
 Memory issues
 Poor Programming
 Other software problems
 Aging or damaged hardware
 Harmful or malicious applications like computer viruses or adware
