What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript is a standard document 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.
the terms ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably—they are two
names for the same language.

- What is a program?
A program is a way of instructing a computer exactly what to do in order to executed the task that you want to be executed
- What can you say about complexity in programming?
The fundamentals of programming are simple but when a creator builds on top of this, if not enough care is put into programming, the code can become confusing and convoluted even up to a point where the creator does not understand what is being coded.
- What function do programming languages have?
It makes it easier and more accessible for setting tasks to be done by the machine instead of the traditional reading through ones and zeros
- What is the relationship between Java and JavaScript?
Mistakenly seen as synonymous which is just disguised as a marketing by ORACLE, the creaters of Java. They are not the same. Java is a programming language and Javascript is an interpreted scripting language. This simply means that Java code has to be compiled which means the code written is run on a whole on a machine, whereas Javascript is interpreted through web browsers and does not compile on and run on a computer as code.
- What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript is the basics of Javascript which are standardizes for ease of use and application throughout the internet. Standardized by the ECMA.

A program is a set of instructions telling a computer what to do with setting out the rules and whilst it is data in the computer's memory, it controls the actions of the computer.
The fundamental rules of programming are simple. However, when you build on top of those rules, the complexity increases.
The primary function of programming languages is to give instructions to a machine. It is a set of data controlling a set of data.
The only relationship Javascript language has to Java is they both share a similar name. The creators of Javascript decided to use this name due to marketing reasons.
ECMAScript is a standard provided by the Ecma International organization. ECMAScript and Javascript are the same language.

What function do programming 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.
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.

No relation, they are different programming languages. -

- Many things: A piece of text, the directing force that makes a computer do what it does, data in the computers memory, yet it controls the actions performed on that same memory. A program is a building of thought. Costless to build, weightless, and it grows easily as we type.
- The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity - it is easy to get out of hand.
- Taking care of uninteresting details for us. Allows the programmer to talk about the actions that the computer has to form on a higher level. Helps omit details, provide convenient building blocks, allows you to define your own building blocks, and makes those blocks easy to compose.

- What is a program?
A program is code consisting of statements and expressions that are executed from top to bottom, providing the computer with a set of instructions.
- What can you say about complexity in programming?
Making a computer perform a specific task can be complex. Writing the program to make the computer execute a specific task can also be complex. However, a key component of good programming is to manage complexity of the code and consequently the program. Using the tools provided by a programming language and applying meaningful thinking on how to write and structure the program’s code helps to control the overall complexity of a program and allows the computer to perform complex tasks.
- What function do programming languages have?
A programming language is an artificially constructed language that enables a programmer to write code that instructs the computer how to perform a particular task. Put simple, it enables the programmer to communicate with the computer in a way that is manageable and understandable for the human and thus makes it possible to write instructions for even highly complex tasks that can be understood and executed by the computer.
4.What is the relationship between Java and JavaScript?
The largest overlapping between those two languages is the term “Java”. With regard to other areas, they share little to no similarities.
- What is ECMAScript and how is it related to JavaScript?
ECMAScript is a programming language standard for JavaScript in order to ensure interoperability of different software claiming to support JavaScript. In practice, the terms ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably.

a piece of text typed by a programmer, it is the driving force, it is data in the computer’s memory but controls the actions in this memory.
2.What can you say about complexity in programming?
The complexity in programming is a double edge sword. Although we want our programs to run very complex actions, it is also necessary to keep the code as simple and easy to read as possible so that we do not fall trapped in our own maze.
3.What function do programming languages have?
A very important function that more modern programming languages have is to make code easy to read. Along with that, they help the computer execute commands by taking into account predetermined conditions.
It allows the programmer to talk about the actions that the computer has to perform.
4.What is the relationship between Java and JavaScript?
The relationship of Java to JavaScript starts at the name, since Java was being heavily marketed at the creation of JavaScript, the name was provided so that JavaScript could ride on the success of Java. Other than this fact it has almost nothing to do with the Java and only shares similarity in that they are both programming languages.
5.What is ECMAScript and how is it related to JavaScript?
ECMAScript is a standard that allowed JavaScript to be adopted beyond Netscape and allowed everyone that claimed to support JavaScript to actually be talking about the same language. JavaScript and ECMAScript can be used interchangeably since they are the same thing.
