Batch
Windows is to batch scripting as Linux is to shell scripting. In any modern Windows operating system, a batch file is interpreted by cmd.exe.
Example
@ECHO OFF ECHO Hello World! PAUSE
The file name must end in .bat or .cmd (case-insensitive).
Executing this will open a terminal window and print:
Hello World! Press any key to continue . . .
The program will wait for any keyboard input and then exit.
