Programming Reading Assignment

[3DMOONBOOTS]

1. A program is a set of instructions which tell computers what to do.
2. The art of programming is keeping the complexity under control. The great program is subdued-made simple in complexity.
3. Programming languages functions are instructions for computers, easy human communications with computers.
4. Other than the name, there is nothing a like. They used Java’s popularity to market Javescript.
5. ECMAscript is basically Javascript used outside Netspace.

[Nedu]

1. A Program is a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do.

2. Programming is fundamentally tedious and frustrating because computers are dump and pedantic beasts.

3. A programming language is a way to make your computer to do things that it couldn’t do before. And it provided a wonderful excise in abstract thinking.

4. JavaScript has almost nothing to do with the programming language named Java. When JavaScript was being introduced, the Java language was being heavily marketed and was gaining popularity. Someone thought it a good idea to ride on this popularity.

5. ECMAScript version 3 was the widely supported version in the time JavaScript’s ascent to dominance, roughly between 2000 and 2010.

[MarkHording]

1. What is a program?
   A program are instructions that tells a computer what to do.

2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
   Complexity can continually increase, with the development of programs. It is therefore preferable to keep it as simple as possible.

3. What function do programming languages have?
   Programming languages allow for programmers to talk about what actions a computer has to perform on a higher level. It helps omit details and provide and define building blocks.

4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
   There is no relationsship. Java is a programming language that capitalised on the popularity of Javascript during its inception.

5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
   ECMAScript is a standard document that describes the way the JavaScript language should, so the various pieces of software that claimed to support JavaScript, were actually talking about the same language. In practice, the terms ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably—they are two names for the same language

1. Program is a set of instructions given to computer In order get result expected result
2. It is hard especially for beginners. You need to understand how to program in a way that computer would understand it and execute it in a right way.
   3 .Programming languages allow users to wirte programs in a more understandable way, also by making code easier digestible
3. Java is just a marketing name that was used to promote the system
4. It is the same thing

[RonJambo]

1.A programm is many things. 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 on this same
memory.

2.Looking back when programms looked like this:

00110001 00000000 00000000
00110001 00000001 00000001
00110011 00000001 00000010
01010001 00001011 00000010
00100010 00000010 00001000
01000011 00000001 00000000
01000001 00000001 00000001
00010000 00000010 00000000
01100010 00000000 00000000

Programming was enourmously difficult and required absolute dedication, cleverness and discipline.
Today programming languages are already starting to resemble normal languages like english, looking like this:

let total = 0, count = 1;
while (count <= 10) {
total += count;
count += 1;
}
console.log(total);
// → 55

Still programming requires abstract thinking and dedication in order to understand it and use it properly.

3.They are essentially making PC´s compute relatively dumb tasks very very fast. Faster than any human could ever do. Wich is where the power of Computers lie. Performing relatively dumb task exceptionally fast. This however was really hard in times when programms were purely consisting out of numbers.
Therefore programming languages were invented in order to make programming more accessible, comprenhensible, easier to use and more effective.

4.It is important to note that JavaScript has almost nothing to do with the
programming language named Java. The similar name was inspired by marketing considerations rather than good judgment. When JavaScript was being
introduced, the Java language was being heavily marketed and was gaining
popularity. Someone thought it was a good idea to try to ride along on this
success. Now we are stuck with the name.

5.The terms ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably—they are two
names for the same language.

[Gav]

• What is a program?

A list of instructions that tells the computer what to do. The programmer must be precise because the software can’t deviate from the instructions. In essence its an idea made it to life which is the actually hardware

• What can you say about complexity in programming?
  It’s very easy to get out of hand, good programmers are able to be innovative and at the same time able to keep the code compact.

• What function do programming languages have?
  Makes things easier for the developer. The programmer can make actions happen on a higher level without dealing with the minutia of 0011. Pre-made building blocks make programming much simpler.

• What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
  None, At the time Java was popular so the developers of Javascript joined the bandwagon for marketing purposes.

• What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
  ECMAScript and JavaScript are the same languages. It’s like someone called Jeff & his nickname is Big Guy

[DebM]

• 1. A program is text typed by a programmer directing the computer to do what the programmer wants. It is also data in the computer’s memory, and it controls the actions performed on the memory.
• 2. Programming can be complex in that they can introduce their own rules creating a maze in which the programmer may become lost. Sometimes a program’s size and complexity can grow out of control and confuse even the person wo created it.
• 3. A good programming language omits 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.
• 5. ECMAScript is a standard document written to describe the way the JavaScript language should work so that software that claimed to support JavaScript was actually talking about the same language. ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably as they are two names for the same language.

[Shaq.crypto]

1. programming is a set of instructions to execute.
   2.the fundamental rules are simple and clear, programs built on top these rules tend to become complex enough to introduce their own complexity.
   3.programming languages translate commands understood by humans in language machine.
   4.there is no direct relationship between the two, both programming languages that can be used to write apps that run inside a web browser.
2. ECMAscript is a set of standards /rules defined by a standards body. created so all implementations of Javascript. Execute script engines that behave the same way across different platforms and browsers.

[to_seeger]

1. What is a program?
   A program is a set of instructions that tell the computer what to do. The instructions are summarised in the programming language.

2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
   Programming can become very complex, that complex that even the creator does not understand anymore what is going on. Therefore, the real science of programming is to structure a program well and find a most efficient way in the program to make the computer do a desired task.

3. What function do programming languages have?
   It acts as an intermediate between functioning of the computer on the most basic level (bits in bytes), by summarising certain useful sets of actions within one command. By combining these commands in a useful and logic way with a purpose a program is generated.
   The commands of the language are summarising the actions the computer can do, on a higher level (almost as written language), so for a person it is easier to understand and control what is going on.

4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
   There is no relationship between the programs. Javascript was called this way only for marketing reasons, because those days Java was becoming very popular.

5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
   It is just another name for Javascript. But it hints to the fact that the language was standardised by the organisation ECMA, after it was adopted in other applications than Netscape.

[Alfonso_G_Teran]

1. What is a program? A set of coded software instructions.
2. What can you say about complexity in programming? A program can become as complex as the author wants. Sometimes the code can become so complex that grows out of control and the author may get lost inside of it. That’s why best practices (language grammar) is so important to keep everything under control.
3. What function do programming languages have? Programming languages are designed to facilitate complex operations that would be very difficult to express using bit code.
4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript? They are not related at all. JavaScript took the Java word because Java was hyped at that time.
5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript? Ecma International was the instutition that made the ECMAScript standard using JavaScript language. So in practice both names refer to the same concept.

[alemr]

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.”
   I would say that many times is harder to keep things effective and yet simple, like any other human activity.

3. What function do programming languages have?
   –> It’s the capability to understand commands from a human being.

4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
   –> There is nothing to do besides the quite similar name.

5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
   –> “It is a standard document that 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.”

[Brad_Burwash]

1. What is a program?

• A program is the building of thought which which is then provided to a computer as a set of instructions so that the computer will be able to complete a task, aka work.

2. What can you say about complexity in programming?

• Programs are built on rules, and because we provide the rules a program can become as complex as our imagination will let it. The main skill in programing is the ability to control the programs complexity.

3. What function do programming languages have?

• The function of a programing language is to make it easier for the program developer to read and communicate his/her instructions to the computer.

4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?

• Javascript has almost nothing to do with Java. Java is a programing language while Javascript is scripting language. Javascript specifically runs on a browser.

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

• ECMAScript and Javascript are two names for the same language. ECMAscript is standard.

[binklebonk]

1. What is a program?
   A program is an precise set of instructions for the computer to follow and carry out.

2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
   Programming instructions such as the fundermental rules can be seen as quite simple yet when layered to give useful functionality they can quickly become very complex. Managing this complexity can be difficult and program design plays an essential role in making sure the code is efficiently and effectively able to achieve its objectives in a way that is clear for programmers to decypher and not get lost in their own maze matrix. The beauty of well designed code is maintaining simplicity to manage the complexity which may be achieved by sticking to some well defined guidelines.

3. What function do programming languages have?
   The function of programming lanuages is to simplify tasks into a more human type interface/ language to remove the tediousness and boringness of raw machine code or simple computer protocols. A good language should help programmers to think about and discuss actions that the computer has to perform on a higher level which in turn will produce better functional code for real world use. Providing convenient building blocks while also allowing you to define your own building blocks is key to good function.

4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
   The relationship between Java and Javascript is merely a marketing ploy in using the name Java by association to ride on the back of Javascript as a useful and well known program brand.
   Java and JavaScript are however written, assembled and executed differently. Java is typically used for all server side development, while JavaScript is reserved for developing client side scripts for functions like validation and interactivit on web pages. Both are extremely useful.

5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
   Essentially ECMAScript and Javascript are the same thing. ECMAScript lends the name fromEcma International organization that did the standardization for JavaScript describing the way it should work across various pieces of software that claimed to support it.

[Attiss]

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?
   It can often lead to more complexity and even more often lead to frustration. But as we (humans) are relatively new to computing and its potential, we must be willing to engage in complex solutions.

3. What function do programming languages have?
   Allows us to write the actions the computer must perform at a higher level, omitting unnecessary, clunky or boring details. It provides building blocks and allows us to define our own building blocks as well.

4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
   It seems an unfortunate marketing decision has associated the two, while in fact they functionally don’t have anything to do with each other.

5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
   It’s the standard for writing in Javascript so that many different pieces of software can use the same language. In practice, ECMAScript and Javascript are the same thing.

[CyberYeti]

1. A program is a precise set of instructions telling a computer what to do.
2. When it comes to programming complexity is its enemy. As the art of programming lies in the skill of controlling complexity, it should only ever stand to reason that the more beautiful a program is in its artistic application, the more simplistic it will appear to be in the actual language used.
3. By allowing the programmer to omit details, create and self-define building blocks, and making the blocks easy to build, programming languages allow a higher simpler level of communication for the programmer to engage in.
4. Java and Javascript are not related, insofar as to say that they are not the same programming language however are the result of a marketing tactic once employed to try and ride the coattails of another language (Java) that was up and coming when JavaScript was created.
5. Being the same programming language, ECMAScript and JavaScript only differ in the notion that ECMAScript references the original organization (Ecma International Organization) that first worked on the standardizing document for the language across software that claimed to support JavaScript.

[Ishiki]

1. What is a program?
   A program is an instruction to a computer/machine.
2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
   Programs can be written in complex, large texts or simplified, short versions. Programming in a readable and short way is the most important to having great code, otherwise it may not be understood even by the coder themselves.
3. What function do programming languages have?
   Human language instruction that is readable by a machine to take appropriate action.
4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
   Marketing. Other than that there is no relation.
5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
   It is a JavaScript standard meant to ensure the interoperability of web pages across different web browsers.

1. a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do
2. The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity
3. 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.
4. JavaScript has almost nothing to do with the programming language named Java
5. ECMAScript is 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. In practice, the terms ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably—they are two names for the same language.

[ProtoJay4789]

1.) A program is a set of instructions
2.) Without the proper care, the program size could grow out of comtrol
3.) Programming language is used to communicate and instruct computers
4.) The programming languages Java and Javascript have nothing to do with each other. Javascript was given its name due to marketing of how popular Java was
5.) The ECMAScript is a document of how the language Javascript should be used for programs that use it. ECMAScript is also another word for Javascript

[Job.Dylan]

1. What is a program?
   A program is many things. 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 on this same memory. A program is a building of thought. It is costless to build, it is weightless, and it grows easily under our typing hands.

2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
   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. What function do programming languages have?
   A programming language is an artificially constructed language used to instruct computers. Computer languages allow words and phrases to be combined in new ways, making it possible to express ever new concepts.

4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
   None

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