1.What is a program?
Programing is the act of constructing a program-a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do.
2.What can you say about complexity in programming?
Program can be written in complex way, but the real skill is to write it in non-complex way. The great program is subdued - made simple in its complexity.
3.What function do program languages have?
A good programming language helps the programmer by allowing them to talk about the actions that the computer has to perform on a higher level (providing convenient building blocks to define your own building blocks)-easier to compose.
4.What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
It is important to note that JavaScript has almost nothing to do with the programing language called Java.
5.What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
In practice, the terms ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably—they are two names for the same language. ECMAScript standard is a standard document-was written to describe the way the JavaScript language should work so that the various pieces of software that claimed to support JavaScript were actually talking about the same language.

What is a program?
A program is many things.
A piece of text with a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do.
It is also data in the computer’s memory yet it controls the actions performed on this same memory. -
What can you say about complexity in programming?
Programming is hard. The fundamental rules are simple and clear, but building a program on top of these rules tend to become complex enough to introduce their own rules and complexity. Without care, its complexity and size can grow out of control. Keeping programs under control is the main problem. -
What function do programming languages have?
Programming languages are atifical constructed languages used to instruct computers.
It allows you to do things in seconds with a computer that would take you forever by hand. It is a way to make your computer tool do things that it couldn’t do before. -
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
They are completely different languages. JavaScript came after and decided on this name for marketting purposes, piggybacking on earlier Java’s success. -
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMA is the standard document that was written to describe how JavaScript should work so that the different software that claim to support JavaScript were actually talking about the same language. It is called the ECMAScript standard after the Ecma international organisation that did the standardization. ECMAScript and JavaScript are two different names for the same language.

- A set of orders to the computer.
- The complexity comes with the wide brand of possibilities of what you can do with code. The way to handle it is using abstract orders or dividing the code.
- As computers are dumb, some smart people have create languages to instruct the computes.
- A part from the name, both have nothing in common and he name was choose with a criteria of marketing.
- The padronization of how Javascript should work along multiple browsers, either Javascript or ECMAScript are both terms which refers to the same object.

What is a program?
Ans: A program is a set of instructions to the computer that orders the computer to do what the programmer wants it to do. Put it more simply, it is text that are a set of orders for the computer.
What can you say about complexity in programming?
Programming itself is based on fairly simple rules and logic that provide instructions for a computer. However these rules and logic become more complex as the amount of instructions in a program increases. So, the basic instructions will have their own instructions and rules and thus the program will become more complex. Without care, a program will become more complex and this is one of the issues of programming, how to keep the program simple and less complex?
What functions to programming languages have?
Programming languages allow the programmer to talk about instructions to the computers at a higher level. It gives simple instructions and helps omit details. It allows a programmer to provide convenient building blocks that are easy to define and compose. So in this sense, the programming language are a set of instructions that the computer can easily understand.
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
No relation, Javascript name was given as a marketing tactic to ride on the popularity of the Java language, back in the 1990s.
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
They are the same. The ECMAScript is an organization that created a standardized version of Javascript, that showed how it should work.
that can be used to find out if the Softwares claiming to use Javascript are actually using it as their code can be compared with the standardized ECMAScript version

A program is a set of instructions that tell the computer what to do.
Programs can get very complex because it is like putting your thoughts into code form. If the thoughts/code get too complex it could easily get out of control. Many programmers control complexity by adhering to a set a “best practices” which are strict rules for using a small set of well used and understood code in a program.
Programming languages function to perform computational problems way quicker than humans can!
There is no relationship between Javascript and Java other than a marketing person thought that by naming Java, Java that it could benefit from the popularity of the new language of Javascript at the time.
The Ecma International organization standardized the Javascript language which is the ECMAScript standard. So they are both the same language.

Program:
it is many things;
it’s a piece of text;
it is a link between the man god and the machine god;
it’s a way to do simple things as quickly as possible;
it is a thought that materializes;
it is chaos, but at the same time it is the only way to get chaos under “control” when it works;
is the essence of empiricism, it is by making mistakes that you learn …
the same program can be expressed in both long and short, unreadable and readable ways;
helps the programmer by allowing them to
talk about the actions that the computer has to perform on a higher level.
It helps omit details, provides convenient building blocks (such as while and
console.log), allows you to define your own building blocks (such as sum and
range), and makes those blocks easy to compose.
Java and Javascript have nothing to do with each other, just marketing.
ECMAScript is a standard document written
to describe the way the JavaScript language should work. And ECMAScript, the
terms ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably — they are two

Although the fundamentals can be simple and clear, building programs on top of these rules tend to bring a lot of complexity. It is like building a maze and getting lost in that maze. A program’s size and complexity can grow out of control and can confuse even the person creating it. - What function do programming languages have?
Languages offer the function of providing efficiency and precision in the programming process. Improvements in language can offer ease and more understanding of the program and how to fix or improve on that program. - What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Javascript was introduced in 1995 as a way to add programs to web pages in the Netscape Navigator browser. This language has been universally adopted and made modern web applications possible (applications that can interacted with directly without doing a page reload after every action). Javascript has almost nothing to do with the programming language named Java. Java was being heavily marketed when Javascript was introduced and they tried to piggy back off that success and thus we are stuck with similar names now so far into the future. - What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
After being adopted, a standard document was written to describe how the JavaScript language should work so that the various pieces of software that claimed to support JavaScript were actually talking about the same language which is now called the ECMAScript standard
