Scripting with C++

Hi,

So I was wondering what a scripting language can do for a C++ program. I have no idea how it could be helpful. Can you make some functions in a C++ program and call them by using certain keywords, and then connect it with a scripting language, and edit the script for faster development? That's what I always thought it was used for.

I was looking at Lua, and it all looks so alien to me. Help me C++ forms!
Bump. I've been curious about this too. I've been researching game design as of late and I keep seeing that a scripting language (Usually LUA), is used along side the game engine that is written in C++. Curious what they mean here.
Bump!

Really need help on this!
