I have heard that scripting language is often compiled with byte code. I wonder why that is done. I am sorry if my question may sound a bit novice to you, but there are many things which are very unclear to me, when I read about scripting languages. Unfortunately, I will just have to learn about it, and I could use your help

I do not know why scripting languages are compiled with byte code, but they most definitely are. They are most usually interpreted from the source code, or compiled to byte code and then interpreted. On the contrary, applications that are associated with these scripts are compiled with machine code. It all makes no sense to me though, I have kind of learned it in school, but never quite understood the meaning of all these things. My guess is that it makes it simpler to understand these commands and these applications, when they are compiled with such codes. I guess there must be many material on the net, so you can read it.
