Programming Reading Assignment

[Chente718]

1. A set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do.
2. The higher the complexity of a program the more likely it is that the program will become faulty. It is easy for a programmer to become lost in his or her program.
3. Programming languages help to connect the instructor with the machine. The programmer lays out instructions for a machine using a language, and this is how the language is used to create a set of instructions for the machine.
4. The creators of JavaScript basically used the name “Java” to ride the coattails of an already well market performing language. There is apparently no relation aside from this.
5. ECMAScript is the same as Javascript, just two different names. At one point ECMA, the company, came out and agreed a foundation for how all Javascript programs will interact with web-pages. This is now ECMAScript, the JavaScript we know today.

1. It’s a set of instructions that you give the computer, the data in the computers memory.
2. Best to keep it simple.
3. A programming language translates the instructions written in something resembling our language, in a structured way, into machine code that the computer then uses.
4. None
5. It is a version of javascript that gives you the rules of the language.

[takeshiCovac]

1. A program is a set of instructions.
2. There exists complexity in programs. But at a base level programs can be very simple. As the task needed becomes larger so does the complexity of management of the program.
3. A high level programming language is more readable. Thus making writing programs that interact with lower level programming languages easier.
4. There is no relation between the two languages. The name JavaScript was chosen because of the rise of popularity gained by Java at the time.
5. ECMAScript can be used interchangeably with JavaScript ECMA is a set of standards/rules defined by a standards body. They were created so all implementations of JavaScript execute Script engines that behave the same way across different platforms.

[Daniel_Howard]

1 Set of instructions to computer
2 Complexity should be avoided. Programs should be as simple and readable as possible.
3 Programming languages are human readable set of instruction that computer compiler can understand and translate into code that computer understand so that we can get the desired result of action from computer.
4 no relation.
5 Its a standard that javascript follows.

[Jules]

1. A program is the immaterial aspect of a computer.
2. Complexity can increase the power of a program but can also increase the chances of losing control over the function of said program.
3. Their function is so act as human readable/writeable set of instructions for a computer.
4. They are similar in name only.
5. They are two different names which could be used inter-changeably for the same language.

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 is important to manage the complexity when building a program.

3. What function do programming languages have?

• Allows a programmer to define actions that the computer has to perform on a higher level.

What is a program?

A set of instructions written to tell a computer what to do.

@ivan

What can you say about complexity in programming?

Complexity increases as more instructions are built into a program, therefore care needs to be taken so complexity is kept under control.

@ivan

What function do programming languages have?

Programming language allows for instructions to be written in a more efficient manner than using bits, which enables the way programs are written to continually evolve and become better over time .

@ivan

What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?

They are unrelated but Javascript was named to try and market it with the same success and popularity as Java.

@ivan

What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?

ECMAScript is the standardization that was written to outline how Javascript should function.

[RamdanJones]

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

2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
   Programming 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.

3. What function do programming languages have?
   Helps the programmer by allowing them to talk about the actions that the computer has to perform on a higher level.

4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
   Both have nothing to do with each other. When JavaScript was being introduced, the Java language was being heavily marketed and was gaining popularity.

5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
   It is a standard that was written to describe the way JavaScript language should work so that various pieces of software that claimed to support JavaScript were actually talking about the same language. Both terms can be used interchangeably

• What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
• What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?

1. What is a program?

A program is a set of precise instructions that tell the computer what to do.

2. What can you say about complexity in programming?

In computer science, the computational complexity or simply complexity of a program is the number of resources required to run it. Particular focus is given to time and memory requirements. The best practice is to reduce the complexity to a minimum.

3. What function do programming languages have?

Programming languages help us to interact with the computer and instruct the computer what to do if a certain situation arises. With the help of a programming language, we can make the computer do what we want them to do.

4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?

There is no relation between JAVA and JS. Javascript was used as a marketing ploy to ride alongside the growing popularity of Java.

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

JavaScript is a general-purpose scripting language that conforms to the ECMAScript specification. The ECMAScript specification is a blueprint for creating a scripting language. JavaScript is an implementation of that blueprint. On the whole, JavaScript implements the ECMAScript specification as described in ECMA-262.

[Jardine]

1. What is a program?
   A program is a set of instructions for a computer to execute.

[BenF]

1.a program is a set of instructions created by a programmer to tell a computer what to do.

2.it is best to aim to keep your programming as simple as possible as complexity can spiral out of control and be unreadable and unfunctional if not kept in check.

3.programming languages function as instructions for the computer to read and execute just as humans read and understand the information given in books .

4.no relationship the similarity in names was a marketing ploy in the start but that is all.

5.ecma script is a standard that javascript follows to keep things standardized and readable for all programmers using the application.
They are interchangeable.

[RocketUnit]

What is a program?
a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do.
What can you say about complexity in programming?
The whole program will become your own maze.
The quality of program is also about skill of controlling complexity. I need to look for “best practices”.
What function do programming languages have?
Via programming languages the computer can follow instructions made by human.
Understanding new ways of combining words.
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
The similar name was inspired by marketing considerations. So they don’t have anythink related.
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably—they are two names for the same language. It was made to older application can work with Javascript.

[alexdemc]

What is a program?

A program is a set of steps that a computer
executes to complete a certain task.

What can you say about complexity in programming?

Make sure if you’re making the code in your program
more complex, that you understand what your code
is doing to avoid errors and to be able to fix
any if there are any.

What function do programming languages have?

Programming languages compile a more understandable
language for humans into a language that computers
can decode and have the ability to execute.

What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?

Javascript has nearly nothing to do with Java. The
name Javascript came about because Java was just
becoming popular at the time, so the name was
just a clever marketing scheme.

What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?

ECMAScript is the standard that described what Javascript
actually did as a language, so that people that saw the
word on websites knew that every site that used the
language was using the same language. ECMAScript
and Javascript can be used interchangeably, the
languages two words are the same thing.

[KickPunch47]

1. Programing is the act of constructing a program.
