Programming Reading Assignment

[Chris_Adrian]

1. What is a program?

A list of statements written in a programming language that can be executed by a computer.

2. What can you say about complexity in programming?

The more complex a program is, the more it is subject to errors and may cause confusion for those attempting to read or change it.

3. What function do programming languages have?

A programming language is an agreed upon set of predefined instructions and syntaxes that can be used to accomplish a programmatic goal.

4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?

Javascript piggybacked off of the name recognition of Java which was widely marketed at the time that Javascript was created. They are completely separate programming languages.

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

ECMAScript is the name of the Javascript standard, the names can be used interchangeably.

[gravity]

1. A set of instructions.
2. Complexity should be avoided where possible. 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.
3. Programming languages abstract from machine code in a manner that humans can read and understand.
4. There is no relationship except for the name.
5. 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.

[Han5en]

1.) It is a bunch of orders that are given to a computer to execute them.
2.) You had to code every command to a computer step by step, so programs can become very large and complex.
3.) Programming languages translate the instructions of the user in a form that the computer can use it.
4.) They had nothing to do with each other.
5.) ECMAScript and Javascript are the same.

[Dawton]

1. A programme is a set of instructions that is gouverned by a set of rules that is followed by a computer

2. You should not make things too complex, keep it as simple a possible.

3. Programming languages make human instructions interpreatable by computers

4. There is no relationship between Java and Javascript only that supposidly, javascript piggy backed java for name recognition.

5. ECMA script named after ECMA international who standardized Javascript. ECMA javascript is the same language as javascript.

[Levi]

1. What is a program?
   A program is a set of instructions that a computer uses to process input, manipulate data, and out put a result.

2. What can you say about complexity in programming?

Programs have a tendency to become more and more complicated as they are created. It is best to keep complexity in check and write code as simply as possible.

3. What function do programming languages have?
   They allow you to create pieces of code that preform tasks.

4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
   None other than the people marketing Javascript wanted to profit from the popularity of Java so they used a similar name.

5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
   It is the specification that Javascript is based on.

[Cheatz]

1. A program is a set of instructions to be executed by computer/browser
2. In programming, complexity is less effective than simplicity. Making it as simple as possible is not only good for the one doing the programming, but it will be helpful for any programmers who are trying to use or build off of the program.
3. Programming languages are instructions that humans can read and understand that are interpreted and executed by computers.
4. Java and JavaScript are essentially unrelated except having similar sounding names.
5. ECMA is a standard that JavaScript follows.

[Zulu1]

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

2. What can you say about complexity in programming? The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity. The complexity of programming can get out of control to the point of confusing the programmer.

3. What function do programming languages have? It makes programs easier to write, more readable. The programming language helps the programmer by allowing them to talk about the actions at a higher level.

4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript? There is no real relationship

5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript? ECMAS and javascript are interchangeable, they are two names for the same language.

[MarL]

1. A program is a set of instructions, give to the computer for execution
2. A program can rapidly tend to be complex, in order to keep it readable programs are generally divised
3. It is used to command the computer on what to do
4. There is no direct relation between them
5. ECMAScript is a set of rules to describe how JS should work. But the two are the same.

[mjbam93]

1. Instructed code for a computer or machine
2. In a program you have many properties, which affect internal interactions
3. Instruct a computer to perform computation and give a human a way to interact with software
4. Only the name
5. Standardization of JS

[Fox_Hound]

script var name=“helloo world” /script is not functioning. am i typing something wrong. I installed different packages and looked online and i am still stuck.
this my screen shot

here is ivan screen shot i cant not find my error?

please help.

[Fox_Hound]

could not find a solution to the problem, i used different text editor and it works. if someone knows this issue please still reply, please. I will still like to learn what went wrong!!!

[Ernesto1]

1. A program is a set of instruction to execute.
2. try to keep it as simply as you can the idea is to simplify the complexity
3. programing languages helps the people to understand and read programs to the programmers
   4.Nothing
   5.ECMA is a language used in JavaScript called ECMAScript

[ntyrlych]

• What is a program?
  set of instructionsthat tell a computer what to do.
• What can you say about complexity in programming?
  It is the programmer’s job to control their program’s complexity.
• What function do programming languages have?
  Helps the programmer by allowing them to talk about the actions that the computer has to perform on a higher level.
• What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
  No relationship
• What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
  Two names for the same language

[michael356]

1. A set of instructions to make computer what you you want to do.
   2.The basic rules are simple ,with the size of programms grow , the complexity will grow.
2. Help programms to communicate with computer.
   4.No relationship .
   5.ECMA is a standard that JavaScript follows

[a.l.a.i.n]

1. A set of precise instructions you give to the computer.
2. you have to communicate in way the computer can understand.
   Programming is complex but if you master the art of programming you master complexity
3. Programming languages give the programmer the ability to explain his desires to the computer in a higher level than binary code
4. Javascript is named after java because java was strongly hyped when javascript was invented.
5. ECMAScript and Javascript are actually the same
   languages. EcmaScript is a standard Javascript implemented

[Chema]

1. It is a set of instructions for a computer.
2. The programmer’s task is to develop the skill to control the complexity that comes with programming.
   3.Programming language are human instructions given to a computer to perform.
   4.There is no relation.
   5.They are both the same language.

[Simon1997]

1. Program is a language that tells the computer to execute certain amount of action.

2. Computer can do very narrow actions so it is the job of the programmer to create such a program that enables the computer to do a lot broader and less simple actions.

3. Programming languages are useful because they make it easier for people to tell the
   computer what to do.

4. Java is just another programming language that was popularized thanks to Javascript.

5. ECMA is a standard that JavaScript uses.

[dhanakhande]

1. Program is text with specific meaning and logic to perform an action.
2. Any problem will have multiple ways to solve. In each method the way the program is constructed defines its complexity. Programs always should be modular and readable.
   3.Programming languages help to write or read data by executing instructions to a machine in human-understandable language.
   4.Java and javascript both are different. Javascript is client-side where user can get a dynamic response from a web page without page reload. The name is confusing but there is no relation.
   5.ECMAscript and JS are two names for the same language, just like pseudonym.

[jrhawkins7]

1. A set of instructions in a language that computers react to.
2. The art of programming is to create effective programs and reducing their complexity as much as possible.
3. They let us communicate with computers.
4. Javascript took the name Java for marketing purposes. No relation.
5. ECMAScript was one of the first versions of Javascript.

[Jay9000]

1. What is a program?
   Code that executes some function.

2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
   Programming can become very complex since there are multiple ways to write a program that does the same thing. One is not necessarily correct but there are best practices that make them easier to read by other people or computers.

3. What function do programming languages have?
   To be able to be used and understood by other people and computers. A shared language allows accurate communication.

4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
   Almost none. Java is a program that was becoming popular so Javascript wanted to use the name reconition to help promote its language.

5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
   Almost the same. The words are interchangeable. ECMAScript are the rules and best practices of Javascript everyone follows.
