Errors which occur at the time of compilation are compile time errors and errors which occur at runtime are runtime errors. Example like syntax errors are all compile time errors. where as logical errors or out of memory, network error,etc occurs at the time of running the program file.

Run time error is the memory related error or some undefined behavior. Consider you allocated a character array of 20 bytes to store your name. No issues with the statement so no compile time error.
