well i wanted to know wat scripts are. can som1 plz explain?
I'll try and noob this down for you a much as possable. Think of at a play you get a script and it tells you what to do. Well a script for a computer is the same thing it tells your computer what to do.
If I gave somone a script for a play and it would have on it
"Say "Hello World!" "
Well if I wanted the computer to do the same thing but make it for the computer to understand I would put
#include <iostream.h>
main()
{
cout << "Hello World!";
return 0;
}
That is telling your computer to put "Hello World!" on the screen if I was writeing it for a computer to understand.
Anyone feel free to change or addon to what I have said.
I'll give as vague an answer as your question.
A script is a compilation of text for a compiler to understand.
Scripts are interpreted, not compiled.Quote:

A script is interpreted, not compiled. When you code something that is compiled and not interpreted at runtime, then it is not a script.Quote:

No, there's really only one definition of a script. It's always interpreted at runtime, and is usually used to extend the functionality a "parent" program via a programming or scripting language, but it is always interpreted at runtime.Quote:

Aren't scripts what actors use?
