A scripting language is nothing but a type of programming language in which we can write code to control another software application. In fact, programming languages are of two types: a. Scripting Language. b. Compiled Language. Please read this: Scripting and Compiled Languages

Script: A script is text file (or collection of text files) of programming statements written in a language which allows individual statements written in it to be interpreted to machine executable code directly before each is executed and with the intention of this occurring. Application:

A scripting language is used to write code that is going to target a software system. It's going to automate operations on that software system. The script is going to be a sequence of instructions to the target software system. A programming language targets the computing system, which can be a real or virtual machine.

(How data blocks are used by the browser vendor and other scripts is another question, though. See the spec for an example of embedding game map data in a<script type="text/x-game-map"> tag.) –

Feb 24, 2015 · There is no perfect definition of what a programming language really is but you can say that every language that is Turing-complete is a programming language in the sense of that every thinkable program can theoretically be written in it (even if it may be awkward to do so and even if it would be horribly slow to run). And Bash is Turing ...

Aug 15, 2010 · Nowadays, however, the distinction is not useful anymore, and we call C# and Python both programming languages. 2. A Java or C# compiler, by definition, compiles Java and C#, respectively. Such a compiler cannot, in general, also compile code written in another programming language such as Python or JavaScript. 3.

Dec 11, 2008 · In a typical script there will be no performance difference. More important may be the fact that thousand "===" is 1 KB heavier than thousand "==" :) JavaScript profilers can tell you if there is a performance difference in your case. But personally I would do what JSLint suggests.

Nov 9, 2009 · All the answers for the Run->Run menu option go with the "/K" switch of cmd, so the terminal stays open, or "-i" for python.exe so python forces interactive mode - both to preserve the output for you to observe.
