Managed code refers to computer programming code that is executed within the context of a runtime environment, such as the Microsoft .NET Framework or Java Virtual Machine. This code is compiled into Intermediate Language (IL) and then executed by a Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler.

Sample sentences:

1. The development team decided to write their application using managed code to take advantage of the runtime environment's memory management capabilities.
2. Managed code provides a higher level of security by limiting direct access to system resources.
