Prostředí

Prostředí, or „environment“ in English, in the context of computer science, refers to the set of conditions and parameters within which a computer program operates. This can encompass various elements, such as software frameworks, operating systems, hardware configurations, or even network settings that affect how an application functions. The term can also relate to specific development environments (like Integrated Development Environments, or IDEs) where programmers write, test, and debug their code.

In broader terms, an environment can also refer to runtime environments, such as Java’s JVM (Java Virtual Machine) or Python’s interpreter, which provide the necessary context and resources for executing applications. Environments can be tailored for different tasks, including development, testing, or production deployment, and play a crucial role in determining the efficiency, performance, and behavior of software systems.
