  3. All the elements that affect a system or its inputs and outputs.
  4. A particular political or social setting, arena or condition.
  5. The software or hardware existing on any particular computer system.
    — That program uses the Microsoft Windows environment.
  6. The environment of a function at a point during the execution of a program is the set of identifiers in the function's scope and their bindings at that point.
