Programming Reading Assignment

1- A program is a bunch of cpu instruction.
2- A program should be as simple as possible to be understand by other coder. Complex thibg should be split in smaller simpler functions
3- Programming language help us to write code more human readable
4- Nothing except their a re both iterative coding languages
5- ECMAScript is a kind of javascript but it’s first purpose wasn’t to be able to be handle by web browser

  1. What is a program?
    Program is a set of instructions made of rules to tell computer what we want them to do.

  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    Programs built on top of even simple & clear fundamental rules can become very complex. If done without care, the size and complexity in programming can grow out of control that the programmer may get lost in it. The art of programming is the ability to control its complexity.

  3. What function do programming languages have?
    Programming languages helps programmer sending instructions to the computer in the way that is comprehensible and standardized for fellow programmers, that is functional across different platforms and browsers. It makes communications between human and computer easier.

  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    Java and Javascript are two completely different programming languages. Java used to be a popular language, when Javascript was being introduced its name was given to ride along the success of Java as a marketing strategy.

  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    ECMAScript is basically a synonym for Javascript - same language with 2 names. ECMAScript is named after ECMA International organisation who standardises the language. A standard document - ECMA Standard was written to establish the standardisation.

2. The great program is subdued-made simple in its complexity.
3. A programming language helps the programmer by allowing them to talk about the actions that the computer has to perform on a higher level.
4. both programming languages have little to do with each other, the similar name was inspired by a marketing considerations rather than good judgment.
5.ECMAScript and JavaScript are two names for the same language.

  1. A program is a set of simple commands interpret-able by a computer.

  2. Good programming resolves the complexity by splitting the program into simpler parts.

  3. Providing a more human interface to interacting with a computer

  4. No relationship, JS got its name due to a marketing trick. At the time Java has been gaining popularity and Netscape developers jumped on the Java hype train.

  5. Same language, a different name

  1. A program is a “ready-implemented” package of sets of instructions that makes the computer run the way user wants it to be behaved.

  2. Complexity is indeed occured when instructions are built on top of each other. The basic logic is indeed easy to understand but the set of instructions can be harder to understand when the program gets big and have lots of dependicies from other instructions.

  3. A way of interacting with the computer. They are a tool to “communicate” and instruct the computer on what to do.

  4. They are two distinct languages.

  5. ECMAScript is a standard scripting languages. Indeed JavaScript inherits everything from ECMAScript. So indeed, one can say JavaScript and ECMAScript are the same.

What is programming:
Coding the functions of computer software in order for a computer to perform tasks efficiently via the input of humans.

What can you say about program complexity:
Not always being able to get a program to do what you want it to do.

What functions do programming languages have
To construct and perform applications

What is the relationship between java and javaScript
There is mo relationship between the two. javaScript simply rode off the back of java as it was conceived at a time that java was being heavily marketed.

What is ECMAScript and how is it related to javaScript
The ECMAScript was a document that described how javaScript should work so that particular software built to support javaScript were talking about the same language.

Complexity in programming?
complexity in programming is good , but it must be understandable.
What function do programming languages have?
programming languages allow us to communicate with computers.
What is the relationship between java and javascript?
None.
ECMA is a standard that JavaScript follows. Standardization is needed so all Javascript interpreters will handle a certain program the same way.

1.What is a Program?

  • A program is a set of instructions stored in a memory, which also controls actions on those memories.

2. What can you say about complexity in programming?

  • Complexity in programming is when simple actions are combined to do very complicated things at a short amount of time.

3.What function do programming languages have?

  • A programming function can be written in many ways, long or short, readable or unreadable, but essentially a good programming language helps the programmer by allowing them to talk about the actions that the computer has to perform at a higher level.

4.What is the relationship between Java & Javascript?

  • They just share the wave the most talked about thing called Java at that time.

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

  • ECMAScript is a set of guidelines/standards for the language so that the various software that claim to be supporting Java are actually talking the same language.

  • What is a program?
    A set of instructions for a computer comprised of functions and statements, once called compile inputs and envoke values and (ideally useful human readable) outputs.

  • What can you say about complexity in programming?
    It’s as complex as you want it to be. The goal of programming is to remove complexity from your script and execute tasks as efficiently as possible.

  • What function do programming languages have?
    Each language is designed to allow humans to communicate with a computer through a set of commands/queries that are compiled into machine code in order to create a desired outcome/output.

  • What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    No relationship other than similar name. JavaScript is a language and Java is a program.

  • What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    The official JS standardization documentation on specifics of the language for ease of utility across the globe/community.

  1. A program is a set of instructions that tell a computer what to do, allowing it to do things it could not do on its own.
  2. What I would say is that the fundamentals of coding are relatively simple/clear, but once you start to create your own programs things can get very complex. So the trick to being a good programmer is reducing complexity as much as possible. Simple code that executes complicated tasks is beautiful code.
  3. Programming languages allow us to tell the computer what to do in a very non-complex way, with as little instruction as possible; this allows us to create complex programs while keeping the code concise. The programming language, in the background, is spelling out every detail of our instruction to the computer so that we don’t have to.
  4. Pretty much no relationship between the two other than similar names.
  5. ECMAScript is basically another name for Javascript.

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?

The basic principles in programming are simple, but when you combine them in different ways writing your own program is when complexities start arising. The programmer always tries to keep the program simple and under control, even and specially when it contains a lot of complexity.

3. What function do programming languages have?

Programming languages provide the programmer an easier and more familiar way to write instructions to a computer. A lot of our programming languages resemble the languages we use to communicate, like English, because they are more familiar and less tedious to use than the language a computer really understands, which is binary. A programming language also has the function to help the programmer by providing convenient building blocks, allowing him to define his own building blocks and making those blocks easy to compose.

4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?

Java and JavaScript are both programming languages. But besides that, they aren’t similar at all. The name similarity comes from a marketing consideration, not because of any resemblance in the way they work.

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

ECMAScript is a synonym for JavaScript. The ECMAScript standard was a document created to have a standard to describe the way the JavaScript language should work.
