Let's understand this fancy word duo with a real-world example.

Whenever you think about how and where cricket is played a certain set of things come to your mind. Think about them. What are they?

• A ground of particular dimensions according to international standards

• Umpires who can monitor and judge the fair play

• Two teams consisting of players playing to win.

Similary, a runtime environment is the set of software and resources that a program needs to execute. It includes the operating system, libraries, and any other necessary components. The runtime environment provides the program with the necessary resources to run, such as memory, file access, and network access. It is also responsible for managing the program's execution and providing services such as error handling and memory management.

I hope with this example you can now always relate this fancy word duo and explain it to even a five year old.
