  1. A program is what runs a computer. It is a piece of text typed by programmer. It is data in the computers memory and yet it controls the actions performed on this same memory.
  2. it described as building a maze and there is a chance that you could get lost in that maze. Keeping the program under control in its complexity is one of the main issues with programming.
  3. This is no relationship between Java and Javascript, other than the name.
  4. 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.

  1. What is a program?

A program is a building of thought on a computer. It can combine an enormous number of simple actions to do very complicated things.

  1. What can you say about complexity in programming?

The art of proframming is the skill of controlling complexity.

  1. What function do programming languages have?

It 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,provide convenient building blocks, allow to define building blocks and make those easy to compose.

  1. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?

Only the word Java.

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

It is a documented standard of how Javascript should work. Thats to ensure that all the software that runs javascript are talking (about) the same language.

  1. What is a program?

a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do.

  1. What can you say about complexity in programming? The fundamental rules are simple and clear, but programs built on top of these rules tend to become complex enough to introduce their own rules and complexity.

  2. **What function do programming languages have? Programming controls complexity when giving the computer instructions . Programming is the directing force that makes the computer do what it does. Programming can ingeniously combine an enormous number of simple actions to have a computer do very complicated things. It helps omit details, provides convenient building blocks, allows you to define your own building blocks, and makes those blocks easy to compose.

  3. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?

They are completely unrelated.

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

ECMAScript is a standard document written to describe how the JavaScript language should work so various pieces of software that support JavaScript are speaking the same language. Essentially, they are two names for the same language.

  1. It is a set of instructions telling the computer what to do.

  2. One of the problem with programming is complexity, if the programmer is not careful it will grow out of control and will be confusing event to the programmer himself.

  3. It allows a programmer to write a program that is machine readable.

  4. There is no relation between them.

  5. ECMAScript which was named after Ecma International Organization that did the standardization
    of Javascript. The names can be used interchangeably.

  1. What is a program:
  • A program is a set of instructions telling a computer what to do and is usually done in a programming language.
  1. What can you say about complexisty in programming.
  • A program is designed to make things easier due to a computer’s ability to compute things quickly; however, the more elaborate a program the more inadvertently complex is could created by a programmer. In order to minimize complexity, programmers have often resorted to created structures and forms to limit a program’s complexity; however, this can lead to an ineffectiveness in innovation.
    3.What function do programming languages have?
    -It allows humans to interact with a computer.
  1. The only relationship between JAVA and JAVASCRIPT is the familiar name. Javascript was named so as a marketing ploy to take advantage of the existing popularity of Java.
  2. ECMAScript and Javasript are the same language.

A program is a set of instructions.
Programing exist to make life easy , by allowing short hand instructions to do open ended tasks.
To set tools that are easier to adopt the long form instrutions.
None. they just came out around the same time .

  1. A program is a set of instructions that will get the computer to do specific tasks.
  2. By default computers are doing only straightforward operations at very high speed. By programming we can combine huge numbers of such simple tasks, and get computers to do very complicated things.
    However, for the same reason, a program’s complexity can grow out of control, so better a programmer is at controlling complexity, most probably better the programs will be.
  3. Programming languages allows programmers to “talk” to computers to get them to do the things they want to.
  4. There is no relationship between Java and Javascript other than marketing speculation.
  5. ECMAScript is the standard that defines the language so it can be referred to as Javascript also.

  1. A program is a group of commands that instruct the computer what to do.
  2. The base rules for programming are simple and straightforward, but programming is difficult…
    When programs are built on top of these they behave differently, create their own set of rules and add complexity to the program.
  3. It makes the programmers job easier, so they can communicate the actions of the computer that is working at a higher level. This ensures a better, more efficient program being created.
  4. As a marketing tool/exercise only… individuals wanted to gain access to the rising popularity and successful marketing of Java at that time.
    5.ECMA is the International organization that standardized Javascript. Some refer to Javascript as ECMAscript and vis versa. They are the same programming language.

1- A set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do.
2- Without care, a program’s size and complexity will grow out of control,
confusing even the person who created it. Keeping programs under control is
the main problem of programming.
3-It helps omit details, provides convenient building blocks, allows you to define your own building blocks and makes those blocks easy to compose.
4- JavaScript has almost nothing to do with the programming language named Java. The similar name was inspired by marketing considerations rather than good judgment.
5- ECMAScript is the stardardization of Javascript on international level. They can be used interchangeably—they are two names for the same language.

  • What is a program?

A set of instructions that is used to communicate to a computer.

  • What can you say about complexity in programming?

The basic rules would maybe look easy to understand but with time the instructions will change the the code will understand actions. so understanding that will take time and patience

  • What function do programming languages have?

is for communication with the computer and making it do what you want it to for one to understand the language of computing you will speak a thousand languages.

  • What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?

not much the reason it is called javascript is because it was a marketing idea that worked at the time but have made the stay for now…

  • What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?

They are the same just two words for one thing
Ecma organization are the ones responsible for upgrading and making javascript understand more things.
