Step 1Difference between scripting and programming language

As per our organization Guidelines i am only doing doing the first three question.

1) Scripting Vs programming

Programming  Scripting
It is a set of instruction that is used to create a new software from start. It is used to update the existing program control the behavior of the program. 
It is  compiler based language. It is a interpreter based language.
As it is compiler based, so in this complete code is converted into machine code in one way.

In this, the complete program is converted into machine code line by line by use of interpreter.

It is very difficult to write code in programming language as it consists many lines of code and it is very complex. It is easy to implement as it contains small lines of code and requires few lines only for each task.
Its maintenance cost is very high. Its maintenance cost is low as compared to Programming language.
