script.runInContext( contextifiedObject, options )

• contextifiedObject: It is a contextified object as returned by the vm.createContext() method.
• options: It is an optional parameter and returns the object. It holds following parameters:
  1. displayErrors: It holds a Boolean i.e. true if an error is thrown while compiling the code and the line of code because of which an error is thrown is linked to the stack trace. Its by default value is true.
  2. timeout: It holds an integer value that specifies the number of milliseconds taken in order to execute the stated code before ending the execution. However, if an execution is closed then an error will occur. And the value for this must be a positive integer absolutely.
  3. breakOnSigint: It holds a Boolean. If its true, then the execution will be stopped as soon as SIGINT i.e. (Ctrl+C) is provided and if the execution is stopped then an error is thrown. Its by default value is false.
