There is no real difference; a scripting language is a programming language like any other. We use the term script to infer a programming language that does not need to be compiled to a lower-level code before running. Generally speaking, a scripting language is usually a high-level, interpreted programming language.

A scripting language purpose is mainly to write code which can be easily interpreted by a web browser, whereas a high-level programming language such as Java and C has their own interpreters such as JVM is for Java and turbo compiler is for C language. A typical web browser can't detect the code written in either C or Java. Only scripting languages can do the trick.

'scripting language' is the written form and just 'language' is the spoken form.

What is the difference between high level language and low level language?

A programming language that is machine-independent is called a "high-level" language - this includes Java, C++, Python, etc. A programming language that is machine-dependent is called a "low-level" language. For PCs, this usually includes assembly, binary code or some proprietary languages on embedded devices.


Difference between highlevel programming language and low level programming language and middle level programming language?

High level programming is drag & drop, easy peasy programming. In the objects you use to create something ( program, graphics). The components are made up of middle level programming. A language that is easier to remember than zeros & one's...which is a low-level language that integrated chips use to work.

Difference between all mll and hll?

HLL is what we humans use. Its full name is High Level Language. MLL is what machines use. Its full name is Machine Level Language. The difference is, HLL is our language (e.g English) and MLL is machines language (binary code) Binary code is 0s and 1s so "A" could be 010 in MLL. MLL is understood only by the computer and not humans


What is mean by a one to many relationship when comparing a high level language to machine language?

It is meaningless. The term 'high-level language' implies a high-level of abstraction between the source code and the resultant machine code. In order for there to be a one-to-one relationship between the source code and the machine code, there must be little to no abstraction; the source language must be low-level. Assembly language is a low-level language with little to no abstraction.
