RE: simple question - snippsat - Feb-18-2017

Python is both.
Scripting language is a fuzzy concepts.
All scripting languages are programming languages.
So strictly speaking, there is no difference.

Depends how you use it.  A scripting language is a programming language mostly used to glue together external pieces of code that do most of the work. You can do that in Python.


RE: simple question - sajley - Feb-18-2017

interpreter languages (python vb ... ) is a scripting.  compiler languages is a language. (delphi, c ++)..  its True ???
All Interpreter Language is Scripting language. its True????

my english is poor.. if i used a wrong word.   Wall


RE: simple question - Ofnuts - Feb-18-2017

Compiled languages are rarely used for scripting for two reasons:

  1. Scripts are typically developed by trial and error, so compilations tend to slow things
  2. The main advantage of compiled languages is the execution speed of the resulting code, but in scripts most of the processing time is spent in the external pieces of code so the performance of the script code itself is not an issue.

Well, BASH is a Unix shell but you can write scripts on it. Python? Programming and scripting language as it was mentioned already but for me, it is a swiss knife. It's a fun too.

You ask in PM, only one person looks at your problem. You post in the forum, a good dozen of people see it.

If you can't post your problem in public (or cannot restrict it to something you can post in public) then it's outside the purpose of this forum anyway (which is increasing Python proficiency in people, not solving problems).
