Difference of "Code" and "Script"

[jovyjoy]

Hi!

 

I am currently in the documentation stage of our Project. I was asked to put the source code, function, file name and tables used because the client asked us to, (it might also serve as their user manual?). Well, I am just an intern and is therefore still new to this kind of business, and so that I will not make a huge mistake, may I just ask from you what the difference of a code and script is so that I will be able to identify which is code and which is script. It might sound stupid but, I am really confused. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure code is any line of code of Javascript, PHP, etc. A script is a set of codes that perform a specific function that you want.

uhm, so I can't just simply say that code is synonymous to script right? Thanks

All script is code, but not all code is script

ayie, exactly the reason why I got confused in explaining the codes. I got stuck but hopefully, I was able to explain the code for the clients! Thanks guys!

Here is an example of a simple line of code.

 

<?php
  echo "Hello World";
?>

 

This is an example of a simple simple simple script.

 

  if ($user == $username) {
      echo "Hello, You are verified.";
  } else {
      echo "Sorry, That is not correct.";
  }

 

The script does something if you need to check something etc. Code is what builds up the script if that helps any. They are pretty much the same though
