It is the act of contracting a program which is a precise set of instructions telling a computer what to do.
-
Although the rules are simple, the programs built on them can be very complex.
-
Program languages take out a lot of the tedium and save a lot of time and confusion.
-
They are not related. The similarity in names is an artefact of someone’s poor marketing idea.
-
Technically it is a standard of Java Script. In practice it has the same meaning as Java Script.

- A program is a set of precise instructions which tell a computer what to do.
- Even though the fundamental rules of programming are simple and clear, programs built using these rules tend to become complex enough to introduce their own rules and create further complexity rather like constructing a maze.
- The primary function of programming languages is to instruct computers to carry out specific tasks. Similar to how other languages work, programming languages allow words and phrases to be combined in new ways in order to express ever new concepts.
- Confusingly the relationship between Java and JavaScript is almost non-existent, a result of misguided marketing at the time of its creation.
- ECMAScript was a standardisation document written to describe how JavaScrlpt should work in various pieces of software, to ensure that everyone was talking about the same language at the time of JavaScript’s introduction. Basically they are two names for the same language.

1.A program is a building of thought, is the data, that controls the actions of computers and the way all of there parts interact.
2.The complexity in programming, without care, could grow out of control, making the program confusing to everybody. The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity
3.Part of the power of programming languages is that they can take care of uninteresting details for us. 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, allows you to define your own building blocks, and makes those easy to compose
4. When javascript started to grow in popularity, Java appears with the intention of take some of its popularity, taking a similar name. There is no connection between this two languages.
5. It is a standard document writthen to discribe the way the javascript language should work. In practice, both terms are the same.

- Programming languages provide an interface between natural languages and binary or computer language. It makes it easier and less time consuming to write instructions for a computer to execute.
- Java is not Javascript. The similarity in name is as a result of a marketing stunt earlier in the lifecycle of Javascript to make it seem like it was related to a then popular programming language called Java.
