1:text typed by a programmer that gives a cpu a set of instructions
2:programming an be very complex if not well versed in a language and even then may require some new process that you may need to come up with
3:they simplify coding for the programmer while increasing the complexity of the cpu functions
none just a name lol
it is in essence javascript but i guess it a standard so people don’t confuse java and javascript

- Instructions given to a computer in a predefined language.
- Interactions between different data entities by mean of software.the difficulty of these interactions gets exponentially more difficult as the number and type of entities increase.
- Resolving complex problems based on input.
- They are C like programming languages, their name.
- ECMAScript was created by Ecma International. The purpose was to standardize Javascript.

What is a program? It is a group of instructions that the browser, in JS case, have to do
What can you say about complexity in programming? Nowadays the complexity is lower because into the devs comunity you can found helps and ideas, also the complexity is related to what is the approach to get the goal, because it can give you clarity about what language is better in this case, with architecture and the how is the better way to type the code
What function do programming languages have? link the human language to the machine, binary, language
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript? NONE

- A program is a instruction executor.
- Programs should be kept under control and complexity can not become a problem.
- They make it much easier to make programs, and they give the computer the instructions on what to do.
- They don’t have much in common.
- Both are the same language. ECMAScript is a standard.

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.

The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity.
-
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 helps omit details, provides convenient building blocks, allows you to define your own building blocks, and makes those blocks easy to compose.

JavaScript has almost nothing to do with the programming language named Java. The similar name was inspired by marketing considerations.

ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably — they are two names for the same language.

What can you say about complexity in programming?
Over-complex code can be a problem in programming can be a big problem, and in general it’s better for the code to be as simple and elegant as possible
What function do programming languages have?
Programming languages allow the user to communicate with the computer and dictate a set of actions to be carried out.

What is a program?
In broad terms, a program is a set of instruction in a typed text given to a computer to perform a particular task.
What can you say about complexity in programming?
The complexity in programming is subjective to the programmer but in general it should be written in simple yet effective manner that the computer is able to perform the task efficiently.
What function do programming languages have?
Programming languages allow programmers to write readable code such that a computer is able to interpret such instructions in binary.
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
There is no relationship between Java and JavaScript in terms programming similarly. Rather, JavaScript was given its name due to marketability in the 1990’s.
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript and JavaScript are interchangeable name to mean the same thing. ECMAScript is the document that describes the way JavaScript operates correctly.

What is a program?
A program is structured code written to give the computer instructions.
What can you say about complexity in programming?
A program is like a maze and the programmer must be aware that it is possible to get lost. Therefore, steps should be taken to ensure that code is organized enough for the programmer and others to follow.
What function do programming languages have?
Computers understand ones and zeros while humans mostly use letters to communicate. Programming languages offer a way to instruct the computer using words and phrases derived from regular written and spoken languages.
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Java and JavaScript are separate languages. They are both similar in their names and this was done as a way to promote JavaScript.
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript is a JavaScript standard and it defines the language. Therefore it can be used interchangeable with the name JavaScript.

confusing even the person who created it. Keeping programs under control is the main problem of 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. -

What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
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 try to ride along on this success. Now we are stuck with the name. -
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript is 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. This is called the ECMAScript standard, after the Ecma International organization that did the standardization. In practice, the terms ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably—they are two names for the same language.
