4.2 Difference between Programming and
Scripting
Categories
Programming languages are divided into five
subcategories: First generation, Second generation,
Third generation, Fourth generation, and Fifth
generation. Scripting languages have only two
subcategories: Server-side scripting languages and
client-side scripting languages.
Conversion and hosting
Since programming languages use a compiler, it is
a one-shot conversion. Scripting languages, on the
other hand, demand line by line conversion.
Programming languages are self-executable; they
do not require a host. Scripting languages require a
host.
