Script
Definition
Program data-processing which does not require compilation before being carried out. To function, scripts must be interpreted by a program or a waiter dedicated to the language in which they were written.
Description
The programming languages can be classified in two families: compiled languages and interpreted languages. The compiled languages (such as the C/C++, the COBOL, Lisp and well of others) require a compilation to be achievable on a computer. This compilation returns in fact to translate a program into pure machine language, so that a computer can include/understand the continuation of instruction of it. Programs written in an interpreted language, or language of script (such as the Javascript the PHP, the ASP, Python etc), do not require compilation before being carried out. On the other hand, they require that the machine intended to carry out them has an interpreter, a program able to include/understand the whole of the instructions present in the program. On Internet, one can distinguish two kinds of languages of script: those interpreted by the customer (it is the case of the Javascript or VBScript, included/understood by navigator Internet) and those interpreted by the waiter (the languages of development of dynamic sites like PHP or ASP form part of it).
