Scripting vs. Coding

Question

What is the difference between scripting and coding? I\'ve done both, I can recognize both, but it seems in reality, the definitions are sketchy. First of all, am I right in

Answer 1

According to Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scripting_language, The main characteristics of scripting languages seem to be:

1. used inside a runtime environment which it can control/automate

2. interpreted

3. very high level

4. dynamic

With notes that sometimes that's how a particular language started out, before it was generalized. So some scripting languages are only called that for historical reasons. The "very high level" and "dynamic" parts are the criteria I hear people most often use when referring to something being scripting-language-like, so my guess is that's the most reliable indicator.
