Guys,
The way I see it is:
a script is file with code that hasn't been compiled, its is compiled
during run time, for example web php and perl code are examples of scripting.
A program is one that has been compiled and run as a compiled binary.
Hope this helps
It helps ... muddy the water because it's wrong.
Scripts are mostly the glue used join OS commands together. Languages used for scripting are mostly HLLs (High Level Languages) whereas most compiled languages are third-generation. And aren't always compiled.
