Application software is different languages that your computer communicates in.
These consist of:
What is a compiled language?
"A compiled language is a programming language whose implementations are typically compilers (translators that generate machine code from source code)"
from https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=compiled+language&rlz=1C1VFKB_enGB613GB613&oq=compiled+language&aqs=chrome..69i57&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8
So to my under standing a compiled language is the process of the computer changing a source code to a language that the chosen platform can understand. It changes the language to a machine code and it does this so that the machine can understand it easier that can lead to a faster run time.
What is a interpreted language?
"interpreters (step-by-step executors of source code, where no pre-runtime translation takes place)." from https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=compiled+language&rlz=1C1VFKB_enGB613GB613&oq=compiled+language&aqs=chrome..69i57&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8
So as I understand an interpreted language is a language that can be understood by multiple platforms.It changes the language from one language to another, which is a native to the machine. It is basically a translator for machine code.
What is scripting?
"A scripting language or script language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that can interpret (rather than compile) and automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator."
from https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=scripting&rlz=1C1VFKB_enGB613GB613&oq=scripting&aqs=chrome..69i57&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8
As I understand, scripting is a series of codes that don't require human interaction . It requires a certain criteria to be activated. This is used in programs like Maya, as if you are animating in it. It can work out what you want it to do by itself.
These consist of:
- C++
- C#
- Java
- J2SE
- J2ME
- and scripting eg Lingo, UnrealScript, QuakeC, Maya Embedded Language, ActionScript, JavaScript
