What is a program?
A program is textual instruction typed by users converted into binary that instructs a computer what to do in order to generate a result -
What can you say about complexity in programming?
Complexity in programming is is the main issue and reducing complexity but achieving the same result makes the program optimized/beautiful and hence, best practices are to be applied to minimize complexity. However, programming is also about exploring boundaries and limitations in both users and machines and hence, a balance of good practice at appropriate areas while over the top, complex or even improbable approaches for new solutions can be applied to make a truly beautiful program -
What function do programming languages have?
allows user to key in instruction for computer to perform -
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Share similar name due to riding of marketing wave. When Java was heavily marketed, JavaScript was introduced and the name suck with ever since -
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript and JavaScript are essentially the same thing. 2 names to a same language and interchangeable.
- What is a program?
programing in computer terms is a set of instructions that tell a computer what to do, its machine language - What can you say about complexity in programming?
programing can be complex coz there are many rules to consider, but if you keep the structure simple then u can keep it less complex, without the complexity will get out of control - What function do programming languages have?
codes - What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Java and Javascript are 2 different computer languages, they just have an almost similar name - What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
they are 2 names for the same language
- A set of instructions given to a computer.
2)If one does not keep the program simple one can lose themselves in the complexity.
3)The programming language helps make it easier for humans to instruct the computer and translate it to code the computer understand to get a task done. - There was a JAVA craze and javascript was given to a different programming language to ride with the trend. No relations.
5)They are both the same and interchangeable.
- What is a program?
A set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do.
- What can you say about complexity in programming?
Controlling the complexity is the main problem of programming.
- What function do programming languages have?
Making instructions concise and easy to understand.
- What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
In name only; it was a marketing tactic.
- What is ECMAScript and how is it related to JavaScript?
ECMAScript is the standard; the words ECMAScript and JavaScript are used interchangeably.
-
A program is many things including:
a) a piece of text typed by a programmer
b) the directing force that makes the computer do what it does
c) it is data in the computers memory, yet it controls the actions performed on this same memory -
If a programmer is not careful when writing a computer program then it’s size and complexity will grow out of control confusing even the person who created it. This is the main problem with programming, keeping programs under control. The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity.
-
A good programming language helps the programmer by providing a more abstract means of expression, hides uninteresting details, provides convenient building blocks and most of the time allows the programmer to add new building blocks.
-
Javascript has very little to do with the programming language named Java. The similar name was inspired by marketing considerations.
-
Once browsers other than Netscape started to support Javascript then a document was written to describe how Javascript should work. The language described in this document is called ECMAScript after the organisation that standardised it.
-
What is a program?
A set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do -
What can you say about complexity in programming?
Much effort goes into telling a computer what to do; programming is complex with each program being as complex as the outcome needed and dependent on the type of instruction needed to be coded -
What function do programming languages have?
To instruct computers; also provides a means of communication and interaction between PC and person -
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Two very different programming languages having nothing to do with each other outside of similar name -
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
Standard purposed for web pages across different browsers to follow the same intended language and to stay current with Javascript updates that was not initially created with outside browsers in mind from the late Netscape
- A program is a set of instructions on how decisions should be made (output generation) in response to various inputs.
- Complexity in programming: Programs can become incredibly complex, and it’s our job as good developers to make our code as elegant as possible. Good commenting helps, too.
- Programming languages provide us with a way to communicate with computers in a more human-language-centric fashion. We write code in high-level languages, and it looks and sounds more like words than opcodes a machine might use.
- The relationship between Java and JavaScript turns out to be purely driven by marketing. There is no inherent connection between Java and JavaScript.
- Since different browsers all want to implement support for JavaScript, they all need to make sure that each of their own implementations all work the same. So ECMAScript is a standard for how a language needs to operate to be called JavaScript.
- What is a program?** A set of precise instruction telling a computer what to do
- What can you say about complexity in programming?**
- What function do programming languages have?** Programming languages provide humans with an easy readable, and mostly high level ( human language like ) interface to the computer, and it’s systems and devices.

- It is the act of precise instructions telling a computer what to do.
- The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity and made simple in its complexity.
- It helps the programmer by allowing them to talk about actions that a computer has to perform on a higher level. It helps omit details, provides convenient building blocks, allows you to define your own building blocks & makes these blocks easy to compose.
- no relationship
- They are two different names for the same language.
-
It is a set of capabilities which are put together in order to run in a machine
-
Computer language is extremely complex, but programming helps to abstract it as human-readable
-
They help the programmers to pass instructions to machines
-
None, it was a marketing trick used once for bringing JavaScript popularity based on the Java trend.
-
It is the standard for writing Javascript. Thus ECMAScript and Javascript mean the same programming language.
- What is a program?
A series of specific instructions that tell a computer what to do.
- What can you say about complexity in programming?
Programming allow us to do in seconds what would take forever by hand, thanks to the processing power of computers. Essentially, programming reduces complexity for real-world problems.
- What function do programming languages have?
Programming languages combine words and phrases to form new concepts, which are translated into 1s and 0s for the computer to read and process in order to carry out the user’s instructions.
- What is the relationship between Java and JavaScript?
Java and JavaScript have almost nothing to do with each other. When JavaScript first came out, Java was being heavily marketed, so naming the program “JavaScript” was a marketing ploy to ride on Java’s fame.
- What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
JavaScript and ECMAScript are two ways to name the same language. They both add programming to webpages in the same way.
- What is a program?
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 in this same memory.
- What can you say about complexity in programming?
It is so simple and complex at the same time. Keeping programs under control is the main problem to look at.
- What function do programming languages have?
To instruct computers about what to do.
- What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
There is not relationship.
- What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
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. This is called the ECMAScript standard, after the Ecma International organization that did the standardization. In practice, the terms ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably—they are two names for the same language.
-
What is a program?
In this case, a set of instructions written for a computer. -
What can you say about complexity in programming?
The rules of programming are quite simple in and of themselves, but combining the rules and parameters of programming to reach a certain end(s)/ conclusion(s) can be quite complex. -
What function do programming languages have?
The function of a programming language is to help a programmer by allowing them to talk about actions that the computer needs to perform on a higher level. A program allows or helps to condense details and provides convenient, and I will add if I may a readable and understandable syntax across a community who posses knowledge of a particular language to the point where it allows individuals to construct their own unique building blocks to reach a particular end result(s). -
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
There is no relationship between the two as they are different languages. The two are related in name only as the similar name, Java Script, was coined as part of a marketing ploy to ride the wave of the rising popularity of Java. -
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
The two are one and the same under different names.
- A set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do.
- Programming is hard, because programs grow into complex entities that need to work flawlessly. In addition for working, programs also need to be efficient. The key of programming is controlling complexity.
- They allow different ways for programmers to detail and define the actions a computer needs to perform.
- Javascript is a way to add programs to web pages and it has almost nothing to do with the programming language called Java.
- ECMAScript is a standardized version of Javascript. It’s basically a second name for Javascript.
-
What is a program?
A program is an instruction set written in a language that can be read and executed in some fashion to produce an effect. -
What can you say about complexity in programming?
The complexity in programming comes not from the language itself but rather from the level to which you can use that language to compile and execute ever more abstract concepts. -
What function do programming languages have?
In essence they allow a human to communicate a set of instructions that the computer can understand as well as the human. A programming language is a communication “Bridge” you could say, between computer and programmer -
What is the relationship between Java and JavaScript?
There is none other than the fact that the JavaScript marketing team decided it would be a good idea to try and associate themselves with the rising popularity of Java Language. -
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to JavaScript?
Unlike Java, ECMAScript is JavaScript and vice versa. This is due to the need to ensure standardized adoption of the language across businesses to ensure they were using true JavaScript language.
- a program is a set of precise instructions that tells the computer what to do.
- bigger programs can become so complex, that even its creator can be confused by it at some point. Therefore the art, that programmers need to optimize is structurizing (encapsulation) the clean written (indents, proper variable names,…) code.
- the function of a programming langugage is to serve as an interface beween human readable and machine readable code.
- Java is an object oriented language while JavaScript is (as the name tells) a scripting language. So there is almost no relationship (even the syntax is quite similar sometimes). It was just a marketing choice to call it “Java”-Script.
- ECMAScript is a standardization that describes how the JavaScript Language should work. It can be used interchangably to JavaScript.
- A structured series of events/actions. In computer science it refers to a defined series of instructions (events/actions) to be executed by the computer.
- Program complexity should be achieved through minimalism in code.
- Programming languages make it easier for people to dictate and check a computer’s assigned actions.
- They have a similar name.
- ECMAScript and Javascript are two names for the same language.
-
A program is a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do. (p. 1) (emphasis added)
-
Interestingly, programming is performed with computer languages which are similar to natural languages. According to Noam Choamsky’s classical transformational grammar, a infinite number of sentences can be produced in natural languages. Underlying the sentences on the surface are a finite number of phrase structure rules which can be combined in ways permitted by the particular language be spoken. The complexity is a product of the permissible combinations, but the complexity also accounts for the usefulness and indeed the beauty of the language being spoken. “The
art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity.” (pp. 2-3). -
The functions of programming languages are to allow the programmer “to
talk about the actions that the computer has to perform on a higher level,”
to help the programmer “omit details, provides convenient building blocks (such as while and
console.log),” to allow the programmer “to define” his or her own “building blocks (such as sum and
range),” and to make “those blocks easy to compose.” (p. 6). -
“JavaScript has almost nothing to do with the programming language named Java.” We are stuck with the name because someone thought it would be a good marketing idea. (p. 6)
-
“ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably—they are two
names for the same language.” (p. 6) ECMAScript was invented to make sure that the software programs that were supposed to support JavaScript were not confused with Java. (p. 6)
- A program is a piece of code, which is directing force that makes the computer do what it was instructed.
- the complexity can become overwhelming for a programer if he/she does not manage to keep the code simple.
- Programming languages make it easier for humans to understand written code and also makes writing code easier as it is closer to human languages.
- Apart from the name there is no relationship
- They both mean the same language. ECMA is the organization that standardized the operation of JavaScript
- A program is a set of instructions for the computer on what to do.
- Complexity in programming could be a positive or a negative thing. There are a million ways to program computers and it could be really easy to get lost in it’s complexity.
- Programming languages have a function of a programming different things.
- Java and Javascript are different programming languages. Java was marketed with this name intentionally to exploit JavaScript popularity at the time.
- ECMAScript is a standardization of programming language which is based on Javascript, so they can be used interchangeably.
