i have specific question like whether matlab is programming language or scripting language? can you explain in detail as i am confused between them as some of the resource says "it's programming language" some of them says "it's scripting language"

What is your definition of the difference (and, more significantly, what
difference does it make?) A rose by any other name...

Matlab is a programming language in the sense of being complete. It is
sometimes referred to as a scripting language owing to being interactive
and interpreted, not compiled.

Hi Dilip Sing, I think MATLAB is definitely its own programming language. Of course you can also write scripts in MATLAB, but any useful scripts will undoubtedly make use of MATLAB as a programming language.
