Difference between scripting and programming?

Question

Could someone explain me when we are using scripting and programming? Thanks

Answer 1

Script is a code that you insert to a Program

Answer 2

Yeah, right. What's also scripting is connecting two components in a process or workflow, by pulling data from a to b, including all sorts of data manipulation, DB insertion, etc. Normally scripting languages like Perl or Python deliver dedicated tools which may help you doing this job, i.e. regular expression support, file format parsing, you name it. Typical programming language features like basically included patterns, extensive OOP support, etc. are kept more or less rudimentary in scripting languages. Python, however, also allows building stand-alone programs, however, normally Java, C++, or even .NET beats Python in that when programs tend to involve a more complex class landscape.

Answer 3

Id say Python is a scripting language, but that does not lessen it as a programming language.  Same as JavaScript, that is also a scripting language, but it's also a programming language that people use to make real, big programs.
