Runtime vs. Compile time

Question

What is the difference between run-time and compile-time?

Answer 1

The major difference between run-time and compile time is:

1. If there are any syntax errors and type checks in your code,then it throws compile time error, where-as run-time:it checks after executing the code. For example:

int a = 1 int b = a/0;

here first line doesn't have a semi-colon at the end---> compile time error after executing the program while performing operation b, result is infinite---> run-time error.

2. Compile time doesn't look for output of functionality provided by your code, whereas run-time does.
