A runtime system is a sub-system in computer programming that exists in both the computer where a program is created and where it is intended to be run. It provides an environment for programs to run and addresses various issues such as memory management, variable access, parameter passing, interfacing with the operating system, and more. The compiler relies on the specific runtime system to generate correct code and the runtime system may include features like garbage collection and threads.
