What programming language are batch files written in?

.bat files are just text files renamed

they are programs, but they are more like scripts that are used by command prompt

open command prompt and type in " edit "

Type in:

echo hello world

save it as a .bat file

and now when you go to command prompt

drag that file in and it should say "hello world"

its a simple program but I think it explains it well

The COMMAND PROCESSOR (command dot com) has the batch file commands written in, so there is no defined language other than the disk operating system... DOS... Newer versions of windoze have a SCRIPT language utility program that is an enhanced DOS command processor.

Here is a really good reference page regarding batch commands:

C and Batch archives are used for thoroughly distinctive motives. Batch isn't programming. Batch is used for scheduling automatic initiatives eg. you % a application to execute at midday primary which opens a verbal exchange asserting midday or something. you may use batch to call that application. Batch is often used for extra complicated automatic initiatives yet that's in actuality the cut back to batch's use. Batch has very limited programming function that could't evaluate to a programming language. The Batch command instant does not continuously might desire to be seen. it rather is carefully hidden. C is a programming language. C does not continuously run in command instant. you additionally could make a console utility which sounds like command instant regardless of the incontrovertible fact that it does not choose command instant to run i.e it rather is a standalone. C may additionally make a domicile windows utility which has a window with controls. C may additionally make dll's and at times even working systems. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that while in comparison with merchandise oriented languages including Java and C++, C might seem slightly limited in its constructive components it continues to be far extra enhanced than batch. C classes are compiled ie. they are all placed right into a million output document (till you have dll's) and are standalone. they don't run in yet another application. neither is extra valuable, they the two have distinctive makes use of yet once you ask my opinion the domicile windows job equipment is very undesirable and below developed while in comparison with those of UNIX and LINUX so as a result i might say C is extra valuable.
