- A program is a set of instructions (code) that directs a computer to carry out a task or tasks.
- Programs are created using languages and just like any language, code can be highly complex. The goal of a good programmer is to create programs in the simplest way, making them easy to understand and execute.
- They allow programmers to create code that computers can interpret and use to complete tasks.
- There is no relationship, other than a poorly chosen marketing ploy.
- The name ECMAScript is interchangeable with JavaScript as the Ecma International Organisation carried out the standardisation of the language we know as JavaScript

- A piece of code that tells the computer what to do.
- The complexity can grow out of control when the programs size increases, even for the author can be difficult to understand it.
- Help us write these instructions or programs in a more human and understandable way.
- None only the name Java.

Programming is resolving a problem , problem is regarded as inherently difficult if its solution requires significant resources. When we are creating a program, we are totaly free, there is not only one solution to achieve something. However, we have to take control of our program in order to understand what the machine is doing. Our program must be the simplest possible.

At the lowest level of a computer (i.e. the cpu), every intstruction is in binary ( 0 or 1 ).
At each level of the computer, a programming languages allows to enter instruction in an easier way than this binary language.
A good programming language helps the programmer by providing a more abstract means of expression.

There no distinction between both languages. Javascript has used this name to profit from the buzz from javascript.

We have to keep it as simple as possible, in order to let it readable and stable. The more complex is a program, the more spaces for bugs to hide.

The function of programming languages is to transform human-readable instructions into binary code usable by computers.

They have nothing in common apart the beginning of their names.

ECMAScript and Javascript are the same language and are interchangeable. ECMAScript is the international standard documentation on Javascript and it is named after the ECMA International organization.

- A program is a set of instructions that tell the computer what to do, usually written in a simple text format which follows the structure of a certain programming language.
- While the basic building blocks and rules of programming are fairly simple, the programs built on top can be quite complex. It is in the programmers responsibility to prevent a program of growing out of control and master the skill of controlling complexity. Using only a small set of techniques or features of a programming language for achieving this is both boring and inefficient.
- Programming languages provide a readable maintainable abstraction of low-level CPU instructions; with this they help the programmer by taking care of all the uninteresting details and providing convenent operations as well as allowing to define own building blocks.
- The primary reason that JavaScript contains Java were marketing considerations back then when Java was gaining popularity â from a technical perspective there is no relation between JavaScript and Java.
- EMCAScript is a standard that describes how the JavaScript language should work. In practice, the terms JavaScript and ECMAScript can be used interchangeably.

What is a program?
In simple term, a program is a set of instructions that tell a computer what to do. -
What can you say about complexity in programming?
As a program grows, so too does its complexity. A good programmer will manage this complexity by applying certain principles, such as (in an object oriented sense) inheritance, abstraction, encapsulation, and polymorphism. -
What function do programming languages have?
They allow programmers to interact with a computer to have them perform in a desired manner. They are meant to be human readable in order to make it easier for us to understand what is going on in the code. For the computer to understand what a programmer has written, it will first need to be interpreted or compiled into machine code. -
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
The name was a marketing ploy to try and ride on the coattails of Javaâs success at the time. There are no similarities between the two, except for the name which only serves to confuse newcomers to programming. -
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
It is another name for Javascript. Ecma International wrote a standardisation document to describe the way the Javascript language should work.

1. What is a program?
A set of precise instructions that tell a computer what to do. 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?
The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity
Programs are built on top of fundamental rules, they tend to become complex enough to introduce their own rules and complexity.
3. What function do programming languages have?
It makes it easier to instruct computers, instead of using binary code. It also lets us do programming,
4. What is the relationship between Java and JavaScript?
Just for marketing. When JavaScript was introduced, the Java language was being heavily marketed and was gaining popularity. They wanted to ride along on this success and got stuck with the name.
5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to JavaScript?
Two names for the same language. Got the name after a standard document that was written by Ecma International organization to describe the way JavaScript language should work so that it was standardized to make sure everyone was talking about the same language.

- A program is a set of instructions
- Complexity should be avoided. Programs must be simple to use
- Programming languages are understood by humans. After you write a programming code it gets compiled and translated to binary language, which computers can understand.
- There is no relationship between Java and Javascript. Those are two different languages, which have nothing to do with each other. Java is a programming language while Javascript is a scripting language.
- ECMA is a standard that JavaScript follows. Standardization is needed so all Javascript interpreters will handle a certain program the same way.

- Javascript just coattailed on the name of Java because of itâs popularity
- It is a standard document that describes the way the language should work and to make sure the various pieces of software that claim to support Javascript are actually talking about the same language.

2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
Complexity is something weâd better try to manage when designing a program, so that it wonât do crazy thing and give us surprise.
But we shouldnât stick to the âbest practiceâ for the sake of reducing complexity, coz it is boring, uncreative and set limits for the problem solving mind.

What is a program?
A program is a composition of instructions, which makes a computer/machine/robot do,
what the programmer wants it to do. -
What can you say about complexity in programming?
The complexity can rise so high, that the programmer himself can not understand the
actions, which the program is performing. So it can get very hard to verify a code by
clearing out all bugs. Almost no program is really without bugs. -
What function do programming languages have?
The programming language has to interconnect the higher level thinking of a human with
the rudimentary commands, which a computer can understand and perform. -
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
The name Java was taken for JavaScript because of the publicity, which Java already had gotten. There is no other relationship. -
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript practically is JavaScriptâŚuninteresting history.

- Program written in a high level programming language available these days can be easy to write but provide you less freedom compare to low level programming. Everyone should follow rules, guidelines and standards so that code adhere to these and easy to read and understood by pears. It can get very complex if serious thought is not given at design phase.
- Programming languages provide set of building blocks which can be put together to write program for computer to perform certain task(s).
- Only names are similar but both are different. Java is much more powerful language and can be used to develop Ent applications along with desktop as well as mobile apps. But JS is mainly used in web apps.
- ECMAScript is another name of JS as ECMA International Organisation developed standard for JS to keep consistency accross multiple vendors.
