What is the Difference between Programming, Markup and Scripting Languages?

1. Programming Languages
Programming languages are basically a set of instructions which tells the computer system to perform a particular task. It has a series of steps which needs to be followed by the system in order to produce the desired output.

These instructions are basically written by a programmer (coder) who has an extensive knowledge of languages like c,c++, java etc. A programmer must be familiar with all types of data structures and algorithms as well.

2. Markup Languages
Markup languages are basically responsible for the presentation of data. In simple words, all the design languages such as HTML and CSS are used to present the beautiful and stunning layouts of web templates.

Where HTML is used to specify data and CSS is responsible to represent that data in beautiful layout or design. So if you are really into website design (Front-end development). Then you must start with Markup languages.

3. Scripting Languages
A scripting language is basically a subset of programming languages that are used to mediate between programs in order to generate data.

The main aim of scripting language is to guide other programs what and how to perform? Similar like a script of dialogues given to a celebrity. Where he/she has to use the dialogues written in it for the perfect shot.

These languages are meant to be interpreted rather than compiled, emphasizing its purpose as a subset of all programming languages. Therefore all the scripting languages are used to control other programs which might take some time as they are first interpreted and then run.
