Definition of Programming Language - "A programming language is a formal language comprising a set of strings that produce various kinds of machine code output. Programming languages are one kind of computer language used in computer programming to implement algorithms."In other words, the programming language is a language that computers understand like you and I know English. We are communicating through English, but to communicate with computers, we have to use a language they know. Some Examples of Programming Languages are:

  • C++
  • C
  • Java
  • Python
  • Ruby
  • C#
  • JavaScript
  • Objective-C

Now, let's take a look. What's the meaning of scripting language?

Definition of Scripting Language - "A scripting language is a programming language for a runtime system that automates the execution of tasks that would otherwise be performed individually by a human operator." What do I Think Scripting language is?

Specifically, the scripting language is a programming language used to automate tasks of a computer. With the help of scripting language, you can automate several tasks like opening the software at the given time, automating sending emails to clients, and many more things. Some Examples of Scripting Languages:

  • JavaScript
  • Python
  • PHP
  • Ruby
  • Bash
  • PowerShell
  • R
  • Perl
