What is the difference between Shell Programming and Shell
scripting?

Answer Posted / dhirendra rai

The term "Shell programming" is not true. "Shell scripting"
is the term which is a collection of command to do a
specific task. The "shell" act as a "Interpreter". When we
execute a shell script, a temporary shell is created and the
interpreter interprete and execute one line at a time. if
any error in the line then it exit from that line. No next
line will be read.

Getting error and jump to next line is happen in case of
"Compiler".
