programming language vs scripting language

Hi folks,
As promised here i am back with another amazing blog.
In this blog we'll be focusing on what's the basic difference between a scripting language and a programming language. How they both are different from each other!?

So as a programmer you might have certainly come across these terms. Let's see, what they are!

Programming language

So to give any hardware you need a software. A software is nothing but set of instructions given to a computer to do or complete certain tasks. These set of instructions are also known as a program. Now to write these programs, we need programming languages.

So a programming language in the most simplest terms is a language using which we can interact with the computer to do certain tasks.

A programming language is a compiled language. It is compiled into machine readable code.

A programming language is also a standalone language.

Eg:- Java, C etc.

Scripting language

All scripting languages are programming language, but not all programming language are scripting language.

A scripting language is not a standalone language i.e. it communicates with some other programming language to work. For eg: JavaScript is a scripting language which associates with HTML to work and build interactive applications.

A scripting language is not a compiled language. And since it's not compiled, it is faster, and therefore used mostly in building websites.

Thanks for giving it a read. I hope this might have helped you! 😊
