What is the difference between scripting and programming?

A quiz question in module 1 html course inspires me to ask this. For someone new to the coding world, I appreciate any help in clarifying this. Is there really any difference between scripting and programming as some languages like python is often categorised as scripting language?

There is not much difference on creating them. Programs usually get compiled to become usable (like C#) but scripts don't. more info: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2286552/difference-between-a-script-and-a-program
