    • Artificially created language used to instruct computers
    • Keep programming under control and manage complexity
    • Help the programmer talk about the actions a computer has to perform at a higher level
  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    • Java was popular at the time Javascript was introduced
      • Name was only used to help market Javascript
        • Almost nothing to do with Java besides the name
  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?

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

  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    computers are very dumb and pedantic because of this it can be very tedious and frustrating on getting a computer to do exactly what you want it to do. This can take time and very precise instructions to deliver a certain outcome and any mistake can ruin the planned outcome.

  3. What function do programming languages have?
    Programming languages are simply artificially constructed languages that are used to instruct computers.

  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    funny enough javascript doesn’t have much relation to java except for the fact it was a marketing ploy to ride the success of java at the time.

  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    ECMAScript and Javascript are one in the same . ECMA script is a standard document stating how javascript should work so that there is a set standard so that software that claimed it supported javascript was actually talking about the same language.

  1. A program is a code that can diffrent tasks.
  2. Programs can easily be complex, it could be so complex that not even you yourself can understand what you wrote.
    3.It could do simpel calculations that could turn into complex calculations.
  3. They are completly diffrent thing it was just marketing.
  4. It is basicly the same thing because the could be use interchangeably.

  1. What is a program?

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

Programming : Programming is the act of constructing 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. You’re building your own
maze, in a way, and you might just get lost in it.

  1. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?

Java is programming and Javascript is stricly scripting.

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

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. ECMAScript is that document.

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

  1. How would you change the world with Programming ?

I would try to make innovative applications, programs, etc. That would benefit man kind. Big small or complex. I’ll make it happen/:)>

  1. What can you say about complexity in programming?
  • the higher program complexity does not necesserily takes it to higher efficiency of complexity of the tasks it performs. the “art” of programming , is in " keeping it simple" meaning - finding elegant and simple ways to resolve complex tasks, controlling complextiy
  1. What function do programming languages have?

1.) A set of instructions, which tell a computer what to do.
2.) Complexity should be kept low, such that firstly the computer executes a program properly, secondly for other programmers to be able to understand the code easily, and thirdly such that the writer of the code himself doesn’t get lost in his own code.
3.) Programming languages make programs much shorter and much more readable, than they would be in the computers mother tongue … binary.
4.) Mainly no relationship. At the time JavaScript appeared, Java was very successful. But it was for marketing reasons that the new addition to website programming was named JavaScript, in order to piggyback off that success.
5.) ECMAScript is JavaScript. After JavaScript’s adoption outside of Netscape, 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 were actually talking about the same language. That document was the ECMAScript standard.

  1. a Programm is a construct where a programmer tells the computer what to do.
    2.the fundamentales are simple and clear but on top of that it will get complex enough to introduce their own rules.
    3.because a good programming language helps the programmer by allowing them to tell the computer what actions to do and perform on a higher lvl.
    4.java and JavaScript have nothing to do with each other.
  2. it is the same language just 2 different names. After it’s Adaption outside of Netscape the ecma int. Org. Standardized the language as ecmascript.

  1. What is a program?
    A set of instructions that directs a machine to preform specific actions in a defined sequence.

  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    It is regarded as ‘best practice’ to keep any programming as simple and as least complex as possible.

  3. What function do programming languages have?
    The function of programming languages is to allow humans to more efficiently communicate instructions to machines.

  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    JavaScript (HTML scripting language first known as ‘LiveScript’) has no relationship to ‘Java’ (programming language) other than Netscape changing the name from LiveScript to JavaScript in an attempt to benefit from Java’s popularity at the time.

  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    ECMAScript (European Computer Manufacture’s Association) is the accepted standards for scripting languages. JavaScript is one of the more popular languages based on the ECMAScript standards.

  1. A program is a set of precise instructions that tells your computer what to do.
  2. Keeping programs under control is the main problem in programing. It can grow out of control and confuse you. so you should try to keep code simple and effective.
  3. the function of programming languages are to assist the programmer by providing convenient building blocks and allowing you to define your own building blocks and making those blocks easier to compose.
  4. There is no relationship between Java and Javascript. The name was inspired by marketing considerations rather than good judgement since the Java language was being heavily marketed and was gaining popularity when Javascript was being introduced.

Homework: “Programming Reading Assignment” .

  1. A program is a set of instructions for a computer
  2. The fundamental rules of programming are simple. But when you build programms on top of these rules , new and unique rules can be created, which increases the complexity of the program.
  3. programming languages translate code into a readable and understandable language , that can be read by humans.
  4. There is no relationship
    5)ECMAScript stands for Ecma International organization , it is a different name for the Javascript programming language.

  1. A program is a set of instructions that directs the computer to perform certain tasks.
  2. The fundamental rules are simple and clear - but there is a tendency for programs to generate their own set of rules and complexities, even though being built following the basic rules. This can lead to unpredictable results.
  3. To allow programmers the ability to communicate a set of instructions to a computer. A good programming language: hides uninteresting details, supplies convenient building blocks, and allows the addition of new building blocks.
  4. A marketing ploy - when JavaScript was introduced by Netscape, they tried to ride on the coattails of the increasingly popular programming language - Java.
  5. ECMAScript is a language that was first featured in a document describing precisely how a JavaScript system should work. This document was written when other browsers began to support JavaScript.

  1. A program is a piece of text typed by a programmer. The program
    is what makes the computer do what it does. It is the data in the
    computers memory that controls how the computer will perform.

  2. When writing a program it is best to keep in mind it’s size and
    complexity. It is wise to use a small set of well-understood techniques
    in your program. Keep it under control.

  3. Programming languages instruct computers to perform some
    kind of computation. The computations allow the computer to
    operate devices such as printers, robots, etc.

  4. The only relationship Javascript and Java has is in the name,
    Java. The name Java was used for marketing purposes. Java
    was very popular when Javascript was being introduced. Someone
    thought it would be a good idea to use the name Java. It sort of
    reminded me of Bitcoin and Bitcoin cash.

  5. ECMAScript (European Computer Manufacturers Association Script)
    is a language based on Javascript. It is a document that describes how
    Javascript should work. It is a blueprint for creating script and Javascript
    is how it is implemented.

  1. What is a program?
    A set of instruction wrote by a programmer to instruct what a computer do.
  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    It varies a lot depending on the programmer of the program. The fundamental rules are simple and could be as simple as 0s and 1s, it is the rules built on top of rules that make the programs harder and more complex.
  3. What function do programming languages have?
    To allow human communicate and instruct the machine more easily and more efficiently.
  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    The have no relationship. Java’s name is a marketing scheme since it was built after Javascript to share its fame.
  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    They are the same, and I think it’s a version or a manual to Javascript.

  1. What is a program?
    a program is a set of logical steps in thought that produce a quickly computated output, when given an input.

  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    Programming in and of itself is complex only in the sense that it is guided by language. Language is a significant part of programming because it will dictate the function of the program- and will determine how a logical conclusion about an answer will be reached. Therefore, it is impossible to talk about programmatic complexity without appreciation of how complex human thought is communicated through human language.

  3. What function do programming languages have?
    The function is to essentially guide computational thought processes through which an input will be a function of (to generate an output).

  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    Java was a programming language separate from Javascript, as Java was already in existence before Javascript came along. Marketing introduced the name ‘javascript’ as a means of riding the success (via name recognition) of Java.

  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    Prior to mass adoption, Javascript was only used for the Netscape browser. The ECMAscript is literally just Javascript for any other browser outside of Netscape, as this name reflects the acknowledgement that the Ecma International organization gave to the need to ensure that all browsers were talking about the same language.

  1. A program is a list of actions that a computer will carry out. Essentially a set of instructions.
  2. At the root level, programming rules appear to be simple, however in practice the often prove to be complex with additional rules being added on top of rules.
  3. To read an input and produce an output defined by a program. Harnessing the power of computer power, as computers have the ability to execute multiple rules instantaneously.
  4. There is no relationship between the language other than the name. Java was driven by a marketing campaign
  5. ECMAScript and Javascirpt are the same. ECMAscript standard is a document stating how the Javascript language works.

What can you say about complexity in programming?

Programming can be complex. But making it simpler is very important from code readability perspective. Sometimes complex code can be written in a simpler way depending on the experience of the programmer. Sometimes practicing best practice helps avoid complexity.

What function do programming languages have?

Programming language gives us the dynamic nature and interactivity to the application. Just a simple loop/ iteration could take thousand hours to finish by hand can be done in seconds using programming.

What is the relationship between Java and JavaScript?

There’s no relationship whatsoever.

What is ECMAScript and how is it related to JavaScript?

ECMAScript is the standard for the JavaScript language. They can be used interchangeably - two names for the same language.
