- A program is a set of commands we instruct our computer in order for it to execute what we tell it to do.
- Programming is not simple and it can turn to be extremely complex. Especially when you deal with functions, where you must anticipate all the various scenarios that an algorithm must solve…
- Programming languages make our code more readable and easier to understand for us humans.
- There is no relationship, they are two completely different types of programming languages.
- Basically it’ s a document that sets the standards for JavaScript

Complexity can be very frustrating , but also very rewarding at the same time. (If handled and made simpler )

Programming languages are used as universal communication between humans and computers. They have similar things with the human languages.
-
The link between Java and JavaScript is only the similarity in the name. JavaScript was named that way for marketing purposes.
-
ECMAScript is another name given to JavaScript , by the ECMA International Organization , to make sure that people were talking about the same language when mentioning JavaScript.

- A program is a list of the instruction following a made set of rules/grammar to solve a set of problems with a computer
- Complexity should be avoided. Programs should be as simple and readable as possible.
- It is the way humans interact with machines, it formats our language into code by which the machine understands our instructions.
- There is no relation between Java and JavaScript.
- ECMAScript is a set of standards/rules defined by a standards body. created so all implementations of JavaScript ( or similar scripts, JScript etc ) execute Script engines that behave the same way across different platforms and browsers.

- When the developer constructs a set of specific/precise instructions telling a computer what to do.
- A program can become incredibly complex if the developer is not paying attention closely and with care to the program they’re building.
- Programming languages are languages created by humans to instruct computers.
- No relationship at all.
- They are interchangeable, they both refer to the same programming language.

- A program is the set of instructions for a computer.
- The key to good programming is to manage complexity. Since computers can only follow simple instructions but can do things much faster than humans can, the programs have to be simple enough to be understood and followed by the computers.
- Programming languages allow for humans to write instructions that humans understand but can also be understood by the computer after the instructions are converted to the ones and zeros that a computer understands.
- Java and JavaScript are not related.
- ECMAScript is another name for JavaScript.

A program tells the computer what to do.
The closer the programming language it is to human language, the easier it would be for us to learn.
Programming language instructs the computer what to do. It would also help us to learn to instruct the computer better when the computer language is closer to human language.
Nothing.
ECMAscript is a version of Javascript. It standardizes Javascript.

- Is developed by a set of instructions in the form of code that is executed by the user and carried out by the computer.
- It is a very complex and tedious process largely due to it’s versatility, which is a blessing. The complexity however isn’t short of difficulties and pitfalls.
- The language is used by the programmer to communicate instructions to the computer that execute tasks that people cannot generally complete in person.
- The relationship is moot, as the separate product “java” utilized it’s name for marketing purposes only.
- Either name can be used, the language however is the same. It is the agreed upon structure which conveys how the language can be applied

1)A program is a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do. A program is a building of thought.
2) Complexity can be managed by practicing. Through practice on programming a sense of what is a good program can be developed and thus, management of error can be achieved.
3) The function of programming languages is that they can take care of uninteresting details for us.
4)There is no relationship between Java and JavaScript. Java, it has almost nothing to do with JavaScript.
5) ECMAScript is a different name for JavaScript. JavaScript originated as ECMAScript and
in practice the name JavaScript and ECMAScript are used interchangeably.

- "A program is many things. It is a piece of text typed by a programmer, it is the directing force that makes the computer do what it does, it is data in the computer’s memory, yet it controls the actions performed on this same memory. "
- Keeping programs under control is the main problem of programming. The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity. The great program is subdued—made simple in its complexity.
- A programming language helps the programmer by allowing them to talk about the actions that the computer has to perform on a higher level.
- JavaScript has almost nothing to do with the programming language named Java.
- The terms ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably—they are two names for the same language.

- Programming languages abstract from machine code to syntax that humans can read and understand.
- The name alone - they are unrelated and unfortunately can get confused!
- ECMA is a standard that JavaScript follows. Standardization is needed so all Javascript interpreters will handle a certain program the same way.

Computer has its own language that is different from the human language, and to instruct the computer, we have to write it in the language that the computer can understand. Computers can only do stupidly straightforward things, so for it do complicated instructions the rules tend to become more complex upon application.
