welcome to to computing 🙂

scripts are basically the “instructions” for the computer.
basically, its like this:

if(your name = “mike”)
scream hi im mike.
else
scream im not mike.

basically a person reading this would ask…”am i mike?” if they are, they would scream im mike..if they are not, they would scream “im not mike”. thought this is a very basic dumbed down fake code. most scripts are like this.

first “scripts” is too broad. there are numerous languages, C++/PHP/JAVA etc etc. each of them have “scripts”.

and yes most of them you can make on notepad…though i suggest you get notepad++ (google it).
