2)When complexity grows in programming gets out of control, it can make confuse to the person also who programmed it so better to keep it simple
3)Programming languages helps human to interact with computers easily
4)No relation
5)It is just a standard that describes the way javascript should work

  1. What is a program?

It is a piece of text typed by the programmer telling the computers what to do.

  1. What can you say about complexity in programming?

Controlling the complexity of the program is very important.

  1. What function do programming languages have?

It provides programmer an easier and convenient way to build the block, instructing the computer; execute certain instruction directly in high speed.

  1. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?

Not related. It was just a marketing consideration to name Javascipt Javascript to make it ride along on the popularity of Java.

  1. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?

Actually they refer to the same language. ECMAScript is the name after the standardization made by the Ecma International Organization.

They are the same language ECMAScript is a standard.

  1. What is a program?
    An execution of text or commands via computers. (The ability to process an ‘infinite’ amount of simple tasks)

  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    Complexity varies by the language you are writing in. Some permit more freedom while others limit it, to strive for a certain type of learning or end result. Overall, the basis of programming is to virtually materialize a laundry list of mundane orders which a human could do, but would be vastly uneventful or even wasteful.

  3. What function do programming languages have?
    Hyperspeed (in comparison to humans writing, more so) repitition and execution of clear text/commands for a desired net result based off of the user controlling the program or writing the language.

  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    Java was a booming programming language when Javascript was ‘ready to go public’. Marketers thought it would be brilliant to ride the wave of Java, but naming the new, completely seperate language in a similar manner.

  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    ECMAScript is the newly acceptable universal term for the utilization of Javascript for browsers. Most oftenly now used as synonyms.

Is there ways to get the same answer but have different code, for example for the problem 1. Write a script that contains three different cryptocurrencies contained in three different variables.
Print the cryptocurrencies in 3 different lines.
The answer I inputted was:
var crypto1 = “Aave”;
var crypto2 = “Dogecoin”;
var crypto3 = “Bitcoin”;
console.log(‘Crypto1:’,crypto1);
console.log(‘Crypto2:’,crypto2);
console.log(‘Crypto3:’, crypto3);
HOWEVER:
The answer that Ivan inputted was the following:
var crypto1 = “Bitcoin”;
var crypto2 = “Ethereum”;
var crypto3 = “Litecoin”;
console.log( Crypto 1: ${crypto1} );
console.log( Crypto 2: ${crypto2} );
console.log( Crypto 3: ${crypto3} );
I am confused on why the need to input a ${}?

  1. What is a program? It’s a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do, done with a programming language. It is a complex serie of interconnected “parts” that combined together allows computers to perform specific tasks.

  2. What can you say about complexity in programming? Because it is many things all at once, text, instructions, data and actions performed on and from this data, the many layers to programming make it easy for the programmer to get lost in his own construction so to speak. So programming is not just learning how to understand the languages needed to program, but it seems to be also learning how to manage and control complexity.

  3. What function do programming languages have? There seems to be a very wide range of functions, for whatever actions you want the computer to execute. It can be mathematical functions, as well as any other kind of instruction you want performed by the computer. The programming languages translate the instructions so that the the computer can understand and execute them.

  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript? No relation really, besides that Javascript arrived on the scene when Java was very popular, and the people behind it thought it would be a good idea to surf on that popularity wave so to speak.

  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript? It is an interchangeable term for Javascript, and it comes from when the ECMA international organization standardized the Javascript language once it had a wider adoption.

What is a program?
Instructions for a computer to calculate toward a desired (programmed) result.

What can you say about complexity in programming?
A programming language offers a set of rule which are simple on their own. Combined however, they can create complexity which can confuse the programmer.

What function do programming languages have?
To translate computer instructions (bits) to understandable human language.

What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Java was heavily marketed during 1995. Dev of new script decided to ride the Java popularity wave by naming this new language like Java.

What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMA is the standard used by all browsers that adopted JS after Netscape did. ECMAscript and JS are the same.

1- Set of instructions given to the computer.
2- Trough the time it evolves to be more beginner friendly and understandable.
3- Programing languages make it possible for computers to read and understand what actions the programer wants them to execute and makes it more understandable for programers.
4- They are both languages but different, however the Javascript name was considered from a marketing point of view.
5- EMCAsript is a standard for the programing language Javascript. Both mean the same thing.

  1. A program is a set of instructions that tell the computer what to do.
  2. The size and complexity of programs can quickly go out of control. The art is to balance simplicity and complexity to get your result.
  3. Programming languages allow the programmer to omit small details and make the building blocks easier to use and compose.
  4. The only relationship is a similar name which was a misguided marketing ploy to ride along with the success of Java.
  5. ECMAscript is a standard that was introduced so that software that claimed to support Javascript was talking about the right language. ECMAscript and Javascript are interchangeable names for the same programming language.

  1. What is a program?
    A program is a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do.

  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    Complexity in programming is determined by the programmer. Complexity should be simple but effective.

  3. What function do programming languages have?
    Programming languages help the programmer by enabling omission of details, providing convenient building blocks, allowing the programmer to define their own building blocks, and makes those blocks easy to compose.

  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    There is no direct relationship between Java and Javascript. They are both programming languages.

  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    ECMAScript and Javascript are two names for the same language. ECMAScript standard is a standard document that was written to describe the way the Javascript language should work so that software that claimed to support Javascript were talking about the same language.

  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    Answer: They are two names for the same language. ECMAScript was made so we can know if software that said they supported JavaScript, they were talking about JavaScript.

1.) a program is instructing a computer on what it has to do.

2.) Programming and coding can get very complex and very hard to understand for others or even the main programmer after some time. its best to keep it simple and not to over do it.

3.) The programming languages are the languages we can use to tell the computer what to do by programming commands. the computer can understand it and we can communicate.

4.) Java script was created around the time when java was popular. they barely have anything in common and it was only called that way to get more popularity.

5.) The ECMA organization is the one who standardized java script making it usable for all browsers and applications alike. so that everyone using it would be using the same version of the programm. since then java script can also be called ecma script. they are the same with different names.
