Scripting Language:
A scripting language is
a form of programming language that is usually interpreted rather than compiled. Conventional programs
(c,c++,java) are converted permanently into executable files before they are
run. In contrast, programs in scripting language are interpreted one command at
a time.
For example when we
write c, c++, Java programs, we compiled
those programs to converts the high
level Language code to executable code(byte code in Java).Then we run exe file
of a program.
Where as in scripting language such as
javascript. The programs directly interpreted(executed) by browser rather than
compiled.
In most cases, it is easier to write the
code in a scripting language than in a compiled language. However, scripting
languages are slower because the instructions are not handled solely by the basic instruction processor. Scripting
languages allow rapid development and can communicate easily with programs
written in other languages.
