What is a program?
A program is something that is written with specific code lines to make the computer do what it says to do. -
What can you say about complexity in programming?
It is like learning a new language that has no similarity to your mother tongue. It looks hard in the begining but as long as you keep studying you will clear your thoughts. Basically the more complex is the task that you want to develop the more complex it gets to write. -
What function do programming languages have?
Functions have the property to ease the comunication between man and machine. -
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?

What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
They are both related to the same thing. JavaScripts and ECMAScript are the same language with two different names. JavaScript was named like this to be part of the hype that Java (Oracle) was having when it was lauched.

1- What is a program?
A program is a work or a set of works for a computer to get some results to be used on some other programs or to be used by people.
2-What can you say about complexity in programming?
If we are clear about what we want from the program we are writing, and we have the information about the many tools in the language we can use, programming should be easy enough.
3-What function do programming languages have?
They are instructions for computers which can be written by humans.
4-What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Names are similar and they are both programming languages thats all. They have so little to do with each other.
5-What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript is a standart of language design made by the Ecma International Organization. And JavaScript was also got standartized by this.

**What is a program?
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.
**What can you say about complexity in programming?
The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity. The great program is subdued—made simple in its complexity.
**What function do programming languages have?
A programming language is an artificially constructed language used to instruct computers. Like human languages, computer languages allow words and phrases to be combined in new ways, making it possible to express ever new concepts.
**What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
The language 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 capitalise on this success.
**What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
**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.

- it is a set of clear programs ( instruction docs written in high level or middle level or low level languages ) given to the CPU to perform a specified task
2)Complexity tells bout the space (size of the program) and time (speed of execution) to perform the the task mentioned in the instruction doc fed to the CPU.

Programming languages are artificial constructed languages that tells the CPU what to perform and how to perform.

Java is an OOP programming language while Java Script is an OOP scripting language.
Java creates applications that run in a virtual machine or browser while JavaScript code is run on a browser only.
Java code needs to be compiled while JavaScript code are all in text.
5)After its adoption outside of Netscape, a standard document was written

- What is a program
A piece of text/code which runs on a computer. Inputs are interpreted in the way the program is written and gives the executer outputs. The program lives in your computer’s memory and its correctness is specified in the interpreter or compiler of the programming language.
- What can you say about complexity in programming?
Computers are actually really dumb but the are very fast in doing simple things which would take a very long time on paper. The complexity of a program can be broken down by smart programmers who try to write understandable and auditable code. Though the more functionality your program has the more complex it gets, for instance Javascript programs can be very complex but are also very easy to get started (possible to create runnable code in a short amount of time), so for Javascript programs should be written very clearly and structured to not get lost in complexity.
- What function do programming languages have?
They have the ability to do simple straightforward things at highspeed which can be combined to get really complex programs with high functionality.
4.What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Actually there is no real connection between JavaScript and Java, at the time JavaScript was introduced for the Netscape browser as a programming language for webpages (to interact with them without reloading the page) Java was on the rise of popularity as the new convenient object-orientated programming language, the marketing team behind JavaScript just jumped on the bandwagon and called it language ‘JavaScript’.
- What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript is the formal Specification of JavaScript after this language became so popular in other browsers too. It was defined by the ECMA International Organization. So basically ECMAScript and javaScript can be interchangeably used.

Simply put a program is a set of instructions telling a computer what to do. These instructions are written in a language that we use to communicate that are then translated into binary for the machine to execute. The instructions are precise and need to follow a certain logic that a computer can follow because most machines do not come with common sense (at least not yet).
-
Programming a set of instructions can become very complex very easily and it is considered good practice to keep things as simple as possible.
-
Programs are expressed in binary which is made up of 1s and 0s. Programming languages allow humans to write down instructions and talk to computers, which are easy to understand and write for people and can be easily translated into binary for the computer to execute.
-
They both have nothing to with each other. Java was named as a marketing technique to ride along with the success of Javascript.
-
The ECMAScript is actually different name for the same language that Javascript refers to. ECMAScript was created as an attempt to standardise Javascript to create consensus on what formally constituted what Javascript was.

- What is a program?
A program is a precise set of instructions that tells the computer, a incredibly pedantic machine that only understands binary language, what to do.
- What can you say about complexity in programming?
According to the text, it’s incredibly frustrating at times. It depends on the language. Apparently, JS is a very liberally structured language and is hard to master, despite its prolific use. In general however, programming’s goal is to reduce the complexity in talking to a computer. However, doing so isn’t simple, and the rules needed often end up creating more rules in and of themselves.
- What function do programming languages have?
Programming languages are designed to shorten and simplify the process it takes to tell a computer what to do in binary. For example, instead of writing that 01001101111 = “go,” a programming language will set it up so that one symbol like < or > or { or something, or even a mere word or letter, will represent that binary command.
- What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
JAVA is a platform developed by Sun Microsystems Technologies which was later acquired by Ellison’s Oracle Corporation. JavaScript is merely a web development language that operates on JAVA, but the two are not developmentally related. JAVA runs other stuff like Python and C++ so it’s not exclusive either. It was more a name drop branding thing.
- What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript was basically a set of rules written to determine how JS should work, like a standardization protocol. JS used to only work on Netscape but now everyone uses it, and that’s because of the ECMAScript protocol. Now the terms can be used interchangeably because JS is a standardized language and is the standard when developing online apps.
