How Does a Script Work When Being Run via AutoHotkey? Topic is solved

[Buddha Nature]

Newbie to AutoHotkey with a very basic question. There are two ways to run a script: (1) you can run the script directly via AutoHotkey or (2) you can compile the script and run the exe file directly. Fine.

However, if I do '1' what happens in how the script is running. Is the script in a constant state of being 'interpreted' by AutoHotkey, in a loop so to speak. Or, is the script read and interpreted by AutoHotkey and on that one read converted into a program in system memory and that program then runs the script without looping through it all the time to 'interpret' the script.

Hope my question makes sense — I don't know how to put it any better

the latter, regardless of whether the script was compiled or not
