Scripting?

[.jd.]

Im a big noob on coding, though I was reading through w3schools. I'm not exactly shore what scripting is and what it does. Can some one explain this to me? I understand knowing the syntax for langauges, but what is scripting in itself? Such as creating a "script".

IMHO, the best definition to be found on that page is:

"Scripting is a type of programming where the program is not pre-compiled"
