1 What is a Program?
A program is a set of instructions and functions that execute software in order to perform tasks on a computer/website.

2 What can you say about complexity in programming?
Program complexity can foster itself in problem solving activities such as de-bugging in order for programs o run and work correctly.

3 What function do programming languages have?
The function of a programming language is to construct and perform tasks on applications via program instructions. Functions such as:

  1. Expressions
  2. Booleans
    3.+, =, >, &&, ! and more are just some of the functions that program languages have.

4 What is the relationship between java and javaScript?
There is no relation between the two. Javascript rode off the back of the marketing for Java at the time as javaScript was conceived at that time. The name basically sstuck.

5 EcmaScript was a document that described how javaScript works so that software built to support it were actually talking about the same language.
ECMA and javascript are the same thing.

  1. A program is code that directs a computer to do specific things.
  2. The art of a programmer is “the skill of controlling complexity” making something very complex simple. Some programmers use ‘best practice’ rules to control for complexity something that the author of the book opposes.
  3. Programming languages allows programmers to give instructions to a computer without needing to write the instructions in bits.
  4. Very little. The name was chosen as a marketing ploy.
  5. “ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably—they are two
    names for the same language.”

  1. A program is a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do.
  2. The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity.
  3. programming language helps the programmer by allowing them to
    talk about the actions that the computer has to perform on a higher level.
  4. javaScript has almost nothing to do with the
    programming language named Java. The similar name was inspired by mar-
    keting considerations rather than good judgment
  5. ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably—they are two
    names for the same language

A program is a piece of text typed from a programmer which forces the computer to do what it states.

There are many ways to program code there are complex ways and easy ways, so always choose easy readable code. also javascript helps by giving conditions so its easier to read and code.

Programming languages makes it easier for us to read code.

Java and Javascript are 2 different things… the team jumped on the band wagon to ride the success and now we are stuck with the name (this literally made me laugh)

ECMAScript and Javascript are two names for the same language.

#570
  1. a program is a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do
  2. The more complexity (in a program) the harder it is to understand, even for the programmer. it also increases the chance of errors
  3. Programming languages allow programmers to write code close to the spoken language. It allows “tedious” details to be left out, provides building blocks to do simple tasks and allows the prgrammer to define their own building blocks.
  4. There is no relationship between Java and Javascript and the prefix Java was only included as a marketing tool to help adoption of the language
  5. ECMAScript and Javascript are one and the same
#571
  1. What is a program?

It is a piece of text typed by a programmer. It is the directing force that makes the computer to work or to execute some kind of action, meant by a program. A program is a text that asks the computer to take actions in a very fast way. A program asks the computer to execute the complicated things that would be to hard and to slowly to do by human.

  1. What can you say about complexity in programming?

Complexity touches both program and the computer. It is thought to execute complex actions on computer should be accordingly written a complex program. To do that there are some rules (“best practice”) to be used in order to write/create a program for complex actions. Unfortunately new problems need new approach on solutions, so often the rules must be broken in order to write an appropriate program that reaches the best solution.

  1. What function do programming languages have?

To help write a code in a readable way, that understands either a writer or the computer. Helps the programmer to talk about the actions that computer has to perform on a higher level. It helps omit details, provides convenient building blocks.

  1. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?

Java is a programming language and has nothing to do with JavaScript. Java was at that time heavily marketed and popular, so it inspired the creators of JavaScript to use it in its name.

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

ECMAScript is an equivalent to Javascript. ECMAScript is called after Ecma International organization, which made the standardization of Javascript.

#572
  1. What is a program?
  • a Set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do
  1. 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.
  1. What function do programming languages have?
  • A good programming language helps the programmer by allowing them to
    talk about the actions that the computer has to perform on a higher level.
  1. What is the relationship between Java and JavaScript?
  • None, other than both have “Java” in the name.
  1. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to JavaScript?
  • It is the same program, JavaScript, just standardized by Ecma International organization.
#573
  1. Program is a set of precise instruction that tells computer what to do.
  2. It varies depending on the language, you maybe need to type long command with 1 language and other just simplifies the command to couple letters or words and gives same result.
  3. Main function I guess is to execute a lot of different kind of operations which you typed.
  4. Only the name itself
  5. They are 2 names of the same language.
#574

  1. What is a program? Answer: A program is a set of precise instructions that tell the computer what to do. It can have modules that act like parts of an engine working together to produce something. But each module of the program has it’s constraints just as an engine part has it’s physical constraints, such as strength, durability, and naturally function.

  2. What can you say about complexity in programming? Answer: The rules of program languages combined with the rules of the created program create a maze of complexity that can get confusing. That’s why comments and simplicity are key.

  3. What function do programming languages have? Answer: Programming languages help bypass the unimportant details and makes telling the computer what to do more like writing instructions for a person.

  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript? Answer: Java and Javascript have nothing to do with one another. It was a marketing idea to call ECMAScript Javascript.

  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript? Answer: ECMAScript is the same as Javascript, the ECMA International organization standardized the language.

#575
  1. What is a program?

A set of instructions that tells a computer what to do

  1. What can you say about complexity in programming?

It is tough to balance programming and innovation while keeping things neat, tidy, and understandable to both the programmer and it’s users

  1. What function do programming languages have?

To simplify programming and leave out the mundane parts of programming

  1. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?

Nothing

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

Same thing

#576

  1. 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…”

  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    “The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity.”

  3. What function do programming languages have?
    Programming languages serve to provide a understandable drafting method for programming. And provides relative functions to perform tasks which can only be displayed or created very cryptically in binary code.

  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    “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 try to ride along on this success. Now we are stuck with the name.”

  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    They are the same thing.

#577
  1. What is a program?
    -set of instructions for telling a computer what to do
  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    -Computers do not have the common sense. Computers are “dump”, but powerful. You have to tell it what to do, which may sometimes be really hard.
  3. What function do programming languages have?
    -functions that human can understand instead of just numbers
  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    -no relationship
  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    -It the same thing basically.
#578

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

  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    A program can grow easily as it is a building of thought but can also go out of control if we don’t take care. Keeping programs under control is the main problem in programming. The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity.

  3. What function do programming languages have?
    A good programming language helps the programmer by allowing them to talk about the actions that the computer has to perform on a higher level. It makes building blocks easy to compose.

  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    Javascript and Java have nothing to do with each other, just a marketing consideration.

  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    ECMAScript is a standard document that describes the way that 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 and Javascript are two names for the same language.

#579
  1. a program is a set of instructions which describe what a computer has to do. these instructions are written in a programming language
  2. a program is written by human thought. This can lead to a complex program. One of the most important disciplines is to keep complexity under control.
  3. a programmin language makes a program readable
  4. ther is no technical relationship. this wa only for marketing
  5. Javascript and ECMAScript are interchangeable. both describe the JavaScript Standard
#580

what is programming? programming is a piece of text that directs your computer to complete certain tasks.

What can you say about complexity in programming? When writing a program one can over complicate a certain code that even the original writer of the code can’t read or understand they’r own code.

What Functions do programming languages have? They give the coder the ability to help with details, provide convenient building blocks, and allows you to define your own building blocks and makes the blocks easier too read and compose.

What is relationship between java and javascript? They have no relationship they only thing they have similar is the name java and both names.

What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript? They are both the same programming language and are names that can be used interchangeably

#581

image What is a program? A program is many things. 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? When a program works, it is beautiful. The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity. The great program is subdued—made simple in its complexity.
Some programmers believe that this complexity is best managed by using only a small set of well-understood techniques in their programs.

What function do programming languages have? good programming language helps the programmer by allowing them to talk about the actions that the computer has to perform on a higher level. It helps omit details, provides convenient building blocks (such as while and console.log), allows you to define your own building blocks (such as sum and range), and makes those blocks easy to compose.

What is the relationship between Java and Javascript? None. It was a marketing technique because of the similarity in names. Javascript has nothing to do with the programming language Java.

What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript? ECMAScript is a language that can be used interchangeably with Javascript.

#582
  1. What is a program?
    Set of inputs and outputs
  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    Good programming is controlling complexity of code
  3. What function do programming languages have?
    Provides convenient building blocks, allows definition of those building blocks, makes those blocks easy to compute.
  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    None
  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    ECMAScript was/is a set of rules for JavaScript
#583

1
Writers explanation: A program is many things. 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.

2
I understand that the author mentioned that the computer is “stupid” and can only execute simple but clear commands.

3
Programming languages are a simple way to tell the computer what to do. The language allows to have a common convention used equally all around the world.

4
No relationship other than Javascript took advantage of the name when “java” was a well known term. But the 2 are not similar.

5
ECMA is another way of calling it Javascript

#584

  1. What is a program? Data (text) in the computer’s memory typed by programmer, that makes the computer do what it does.

  2. What can you say about complexity in programming? Programs grow easily and tend to become complex enough and introduce their own rules. Keeping their complexity under control is the main problem of programming.

  3. What function do programming languages have? To instruct the computers what, how and when to do something.

  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript? A name similarity inspired by marketing considerations.

  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript? ECMAScript is a standard document written to describe how Javascript should work so that softwares claiming to support Javascript were actually talking about the same language. Javascript and ECMAscript are the same programming language.

JavaScrip questions From : HORACIO

  1. What is a program?

Is a set of precise instructions telling the computer what to do. Is a piece of text typed by a programer.

  1. What can you say about complexity in programming?

Making the PC to do what you whant is not always easy. You build on top of rules . You build you own maze , but you can get lost.

  1. What function do programmings languages have?

Can take care of uninteresting details for us… The computer allow words and phrases to be combined in new ways, making it posible to express ever new concept, which one such language is (JavaScript) .

4 What is ther realationship between Java and JavaScrip?

JavaScript code is run on a browser only, while Java creates applications that run in a virtual machine or browser. Java is an OOP (object-oriented programming) language, and JavaScript is specifically an OOP scripting language.

5. What is ECMAScript.?

They are tow names for the same language.
