What is the difference?
- 1Scope: Coding is a broader term that encompasses the entire process of programming, while scripting refers to a specific subset of programming focused on automating tasks or controlling software.
- 2Complexity: Coding often involves more complex and extensive programming tasks, while scripting is typically used for simpler and more specific tasks.
- 3Purpose: Coding is used to create or modify software, while scripting is used to automate tasks or control existing software.
- 4Flexibility: Coding allows for more flexibility and customization, while scripting is often limited to predefined actions or commands.
- 5Language: Coding is commonly associated with high-level programming languages, while scripting is often done using scripting languages or scripting extensions of other languages.
Remember this!
Coding and scripting are both related to computer programming and involve writing instructions or commands. However, coding is a broader term that encompasses the entire process of programming, while scripting refers to a specific subset focused on automating tasks or controlling software. Coding is used to create or modify software and often involves more complex tasks, while scripting is used for simpler tasks and is limited to predefined actions or commands.
