What is the difference between application software and programming language?

Answer 1

Programming languages can be classified into two types:

• A Compiled Language is converted into machine code or an intermediate code before the program runs, by a highly specialized piece of software called a compiler.
• In a Scripting Language, there is no need to explicitly invoke the code conversion process. It happens automatically in the background when the source code is processed by an interpreter.

Thus, all scripting languages are programming languages, but not all programming languages are scripting languages.

Answer 2

A script is a code fragment, rather than a complete or standalone application. Examples include commands in a command line language or code in a web page.

The definition of a scripting language is a programming language that is most typically used in a script setting. This means that they are usually interpreted rather than compiled languages, and are often dynamically typed.

Application programming languages include ones like C++ and Java.

Scripting languages include ones like the Unix shell languages and Javascript.

Languages such as Basic and Ruby are more difficult to characterize. They have often been used to write complete applications, but because they are interpreted, have also been utilized as script languages (for example the use of VBScript in spreadsheets).

Answer 3

Application software refers to programs designed to perform specific tasks for users, such as word processing or web browsing. Programming languages, on the other hand, are used to create these applications by providing a set of rules and syntax for writing code that can be executed by a computer. In essence, application software is the end product that users interact with, while programming languages are the tools used to create these applications.

Answer 4

application software is the group of code and supporting files needed to run an application that gets some task accomplished. A programming language is the language that code is written in, like C++ or Java

Answer 5

Scripting languages are interpreted at run-time. This means that every time you want to run the program, a separate program needs to read the code, interpret it, and then follow the instructions in the code. Compiled code has already been interpreted into machine language, so it is will typically execute faster because the conversion into machine language has already been done.

Markup languages (HTML, XML) are somewhat different from both of the others. A markup language is simply a set of tags that are used to "mark up" text documents so that sections of text can be logically arranged and labeled. These documents can be viewed as plain text, or, more commonly, are viewed through a browser. The browser parses the document, looking for markup tags, and it then arranges the text and/or formats it according to the values in the tags.

Answer 6

The primary difference between a "procedural language" and a "scripting language" (PHP, ASP, JSP, JavaScript, VBScript) is that code written in a programming language needs to be compiled before it is run. Once it is compiled, it can be run any number of times.

Scripting languages, on the other hand, are interpreted at run-time. This means that every time you want to run the program, a separate program needs to read the code, interpret it, and then follow the instructions in the code. Compiled code has already been interpreted into machine language, so it is will typically execute faster because the conversion into machine language has already been done.

Answer 7

A Compiled language is one in which the source code is checked for syntactical correctness before the code is executed. the programmer can identify syntax errors during compilation itself and fix it.

A Scripting language is one in which the source code is checked for syntactical correctness only at run time. The programmer can identify syntax errors and issues only during run time.

Answer 8

Programming Languages are for making programs for the desktop and/or the web and Scripting Languages are pretty much for anything else.
