Difference Between Interactive Mode and Script Mode

Interactive Mode allows for immediate execution of commands one at a time, making it ideal for quick testing and learning. Script Mode involves writing complete programs in a file and executing them all at once, suitable for larger and more complex tasks. Each mode serves different purposes based on the user's needs for experimentation or structured programming.
