RunTimeChecks
Runtime checks are validations performed during program execution to verify that assumptions about data, state, or operations hold true. They complement compile-time type checking and static analysis by catching errors that slip through earlier stages, helping detect issues such as invalid inputs, illegal state, or contract violations.
Common forms of runtime checks include bounds checks on array or collection indices, null or undefined reference
Implementation techniques vary. They include assertions that halt execution when a condition fails, runtime libraries or
Advantages of runtime checks include early error detection, clearer diagnostics, and enhanced safety and robustness in
Contexts and language impact vary: dynamic languages such as Python or JavaScript rely heavily on runtime validation,
