A.1. A program is a set of precise instructions that tells a computer what to do. The advantage of programming is that computers execute tasks at extremely high speed.
A.2. A program is able to combine a number of simple actions to execute complicated tasks. The lack of care may cause large and complex programs to grow out of control. Hence, the art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity.
A.3. Program languages have several functions e.g. to develop various types of applications, websites or even to create specific building blocks in the case of JavaScript programming language. Building blocks facilitate composition and therefore simplifying programming by reducing the number of code line entries.
A.4. The relationship between Java and JavaScrip was mainly a marketing opportunity for JavaScript at the time it was launched as Java was heavily marketed and gaining popularity. Although Java and JavaScript have different purposes both have the same C programming language syntax.
Java is an object-oriented programming language with its own virtual machine platform allowing the creation of compiled programs that run on nearly every platform—hence the promise “Write Once, Run Anywhere”
JavaScript is a programming language used to make webpages interactive—insert dynamic text into HTML. JavaScript is also known as the browser language. Both languages are used on web applications.
A.5. In practice ECMAScript and JavaScript are interchangeable terms referring to standardisation. Both programming languages are the same.

In the upcoming video, JS alert demonstration it’s modifying (writing) on HTML, and Ivan says we should see alert on our website…
Am I completely losing it? Did I miss a series about building website so that I could be on the same page? I don’t recall anywhere having watched or instructed on how to build a website so that I could write JS “alert” onto it. Please tell me where I went wrong.
Thanks

- A program is a set of instructions telling a computer what to do.
- What can you say about complexity in programming?
-Programming can be complex and difficult. The basic rules can be simple but the programs built ontop of these rules can be very complex as they can have their own set of rules. - What function do programming languages have?
Progamming languages are what trigger computers to perform a specific set of actions. They aslo provide a universal language that other programmers can understand which makes programming easier and allows them to build upon projects. Programming langauges also allow for performing very simple tasks at high speeds and help solve more complex problems that would take humans far too long to solve and carry out. - What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
-Java and Javascript hold little relationship. Javascript came out a bit after Java and was said to be riding the coat tail of Java’s popularity. The name was more or less a marketing ploy to interest developers. - What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
-ECM is a standard document written to explain how Javascript works so that various software programs that claimed to support it would be sure they are talking about the same language.

- Programming is the act of constructing a program — a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do.
- As the number of entities increases, the number of interactions between them would increase exponentially, and it would get to a point where it would be impossible to know and understand all of them.
- They are a way for humans to interact with computer language.

- ECMAScript provides the rules, details, and guidelines that a scripting language must observe to be considered ECMAScript compliant. ECMAScript is a standard. A scripting language.

What can you say about complexity in programming?
Programs can quickly become very dense, complex documents. Good programming could be described as the art of managing this complexity to make them as succint, logical, and as easy to understand as possible -

What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
There is no relationship, other than the fact they are both programming languages. The name Javascript was unwisely coined to ride on the coat-tails of the newly created and popular Java language.
(It maybe has some slight relevance though when you find out that the name Java was simply an acronym for Just Another Vague Acronym

What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
They are essentially the same thing. ECMAScript developed the standard which birthed Javascript. The two are interchangeable

1. What is a program?
A set of coded instructions that is followed very quickly and accurately.
2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
Each instructions has to be written so that both the computer and your colleagues understands it, meaning that the coding should be easy to understand, controlled and effective.
3. What function do programming languages have?
Humans can only communicate if they speak a language they understand, the same goes for computers. Computers can only follow instructions if its written in a language they understand,
It’s up to the programmer to choose which language is best for the task.
Different languages solves different tasks. It will also be much more effective and less time consuming if it’s a language the programmer can easily understand and write codes in.
4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Nothing at all.
Javascript is used to build websites,
5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
Two names for the same language. ECMA is the standardization for Javascript.

What is a program?
A program is a set of simple instructions, arranged in loops, in order to make complex operations.
What can you say about complexity in programming?
Even though programming can be written in simple and plain language, a road map is usually the best way to keep up. It’s here where comments and a clean structure can help, as the program grows it’s the programmer responsibility to keep everything organised, so he/she or others can read it later with the minimum difficulty.
What function do programming languages have?
Programming languages give us the ability to write code that computers can understand without the need of writing in binary code - zero’s and one’s
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
The only thing they have in common is Java in their name. When JavaScript was released Java was one of the most popular programming languages, and so their creators decided to give it a similar name to keep up with the wave.
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript or JavaScript are the same thing. It is the standard that defines how JavaScript works on the all other devices (other than Netscape) that claim to support it. ECMA International is the organisation that defined all the standardisation, and that why is also know as ECMAScript.
