- A program, in the IT world, is a set of instructions to tell a computer what to do.
- Programming tends to become more complex over time because of the evolving and therefor increasing the compelxity. It is the challenge to keep it understandable.
- It’s a ‘communication’ medium between the computer and the programmer and between programmers.
- A commercial one.
- It’s the standardization of the javascript language.
a program is a building of thought.
Controlling complexity is the art of programming
Programming languages take care of uninteresting details.
There is no relationship between java and javascript other than name.
They are two names for the same standard.
- A program describes a set of inputs, computations and outputs.
- The more i looks english the easier to read it. Programmers can make complexe programs.
- Make our lives easier.
- None, JAVA used the term as a marketing stunt.
- It’s the same. But in practice ECMAScript describes the code standard of JavaScript.

A program is a set of instructions (usually written as text in a programming language) which are interpreted and followed by a computer in order for it to complete a complex task in seconds, which would otherwise take a human being considerably longer, forever, or could even be impossible.

When broken down, programs are essentially made up of many simple, logical steps. However, due to the large number of these individual steps, and the many different ways in which they can be combined, the program as a whole can become very complex. Programming is the art of managing and controlling this complexity. While enabling computers to perform complex tasks, good programs also set out the instructions (for achieving this) as simply and clearly as possible. This then enables the code to be more easily read, edited, modified, extended etc. by other programmers, and also by the original authors themselves.
In order to effectively manage and control complexity, a programming language’s rules, syntax and concepts, and how these interact and adapt to different requirements, are also usually complex. It is therefore normal for a learner to encounter moments of confusion and frustration. When this happens, it usually helps to review things again, carry out some further research, practise and experiment with the code yourself, and also take breaks to rest, recharge and refocus. By persevering in this way, not rushing, and not just skimming over the challenging bits superficially, things usually fall into place eventually. -
Programming languages enable obscure binary instructions to be expressed in a higher-level syntax that is much easier for programmers to read, write and understand. Pre-established words and symbols provide ready-made building blocks which come with built-in solutions for repetitve details and common concepts (e.g. the keywords
whileandforcan be used to create different types of loops for iteration). At the same time, programming languages also still provide the flexibility to create personalised building blocks. Programming languages are therefore easier and more efficient for programmers to work with: they can concentrate on the bigger picture, organise their thoughts more easily, work with more clarity, and control complexity more effectively.
A programming language is similar to a human lanaguage in that it too enables its syntactic building blocks to be arranged in an infinite number of combinations. This in turn means that, theoretically speaking, instructions can be coded for a computer to perform any conceivable computation — in a similar way to how a human language can be used to express and communicate an unlimited number of different ideas. -

ECMAScript (ES) refers to a standardised version of JavaScript — ECMA being the organisation that develops each improved standard.
ES6 is the version of JavaScript that saw the most recent major update to the standard. It was released in 2015 and so is also sometimes referred to as ES2015. Since ES6, there have been further minor updates: ES7 (in 2016), ES8 (in 2017) and ES2018.

A program is a set of precise instructions telling the computer what to do so that the computer can perform a task significantly faster than by hand.
-
Programs are written on top of a set of rules and can become confusing as they grow in size and complexity. The skill is to create a program that can perform many and large tasks while at the same time kept as simple as possible.
-
Programming languages make it easier to read and understand what tasks is to be performed. Allows the programmer to talk with the computer on a higher level while omitting unecessary details and creating their own building blocks.
-
While Javascript is a completely different language from Java, it piggybacked on the Java name.
-
ECMAScript and Javascript are the same anguage. The Ecma International Organization made the standarization of the language.

Complexity can become an issue when a program becomes too complex. Breaking a program down into a combination of simpler tasks will often reduce errors.
-
Programming languages function as standards for software to read and therefore execute the program to perform its desired function.
-
Java and Javascript are two different programming languages that are not even similar. Back in 1995 when Javascript began gaining traction, they named Java as a marketing strategy to piggy back off its recognition.
-
ECMAScript is synonymous with Javascript. ECMA International Institute set this as a standard to make sure software that claimed to support Javascript were all on the same page.
1.A program is a way of giving information by a series of instructions to a computer for it to perform a requested task
2.Complexity in programming, it seems that the skill is to reduce the complex programme into a simpler version, the phrase less is more comes to mind
3.The function of a program language is the link of human to machine, to make it readable for a programmer and also to the computer
It makes the 0101 computer code readable to the programmer
4.The relationship between Java and Javascript, they are totally two different types of programming language, Javascript is way to program web pages
5.ECMAScript and Javascript are in fact the same language
1 A set of precise instructions for the computer
2. Avoid complexity, KISS
3. Machine code for humans to interact with computers
4. Almost Nothing
5. Same thing dif Name
1. What can you say about complexity in programming?, the complexity of a program can grow out of control even for the designer, the designer must be structured and keep the program under certain rules, and must try to make It readable for others, one way can be to separate parts of the program into smaller blocks or files with comments of what it does..
2. What function do programming languages have?, to make it easy to perform a certain task that the computer will execute, by translating(compile) words and certain functions to machine code (a lots of digits of 1 and 0), as this is the only thing the computer understands and can execute.
3. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?, nothing it did get the similar name as Java was so popular we JS was invented.
4. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?,ECMAS is a standardization of the functions in js, so the language should work for the various pieces of software that claimed to support JavaScript were actually talking about the same language. And you also can say ECMAScript or JavaScript is the same program.- What is a program? Is a logically assigned language which provides directions to a computer which is used to interpret or process a set of problems and outputting the solution.
- What can you say about complexity in programming?
Programming provides great power. With great power there is great responsibility. So it is with programming there is a significant responsibility to not only make a program that can be read but to make one that can be understood. When it is understood it is due to the act of controlling complexity. Because the interaction of program operations is never the same across problems it is best to make mistakes and understand rather than only play it safe with best practices. - 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. Many of the earlier languages have obscure taxonomy. Making the interpretation of these languages difficult without specialized training and significant mental focus. They all provide the same end product though. That is to have a computer process out a specific mathematical instruction and provide a repeatable output.
- What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Java script was introduced in 1995 as a way to add programs to web pages. It makes modern interactive web apps possible. Java and Javascript have nothing in common. It was simply a marketing ploy to make Javascript more popular. - What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript was created by the Ecma International Organization who’s intention was to create a standard by which all software which claimed to support Javascript would be able to follow and integrate. ECMAScript was the standardization of Javascript for the most part they are the same thing.

What can you say about complexity in programming?
Programs tend to become complex as they are developed so it is important to try and maintain simplicity as much as possible. It is not always easy to determine the outputs from a computer program, especially where user interaction occurs, so complexity typically arises when attempting to account for the many ways a user can break a program. -
What function do programming languages have?
They are a high-level language form that provide a human readable environment to aid the programmer in talking to the computer. This is achieved by wrapping detailed instructions within simple constructs that a programmer can unite into blocks of code. These blocks are built upon to create programs that are understood by the programmer and readily interpreted by the computer. -
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Nothing more than a marketing ploy. Java is an object orientated programming language that was being heavily marketed at the time and someone thought it would be a good idea to piggy-back its success. -
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
They are effectively the same language. As javascript became more widely adopted it was felt that a standard should be adopted to remove any confusion. Thus the ECMAScript standard was introduced by the European Computer Manufacturers Association, or ECMA International organisation. After version 5 it was decided that incremental updates would be released annually with the current release being ECMAScript 2019 or ES2019.

A program is a collection of instructions that return a specific task when executed by a computer. - What can you say about complexity in programming
It can be said that programming is an art of controlling complexity. Without care, a programs complexity can grow out of control. - What function do programming langues have?
Programming languages help us talk about the actions a computer must perform on a higher level. - What is the relationship Java and JavaScript?
JavaScript has almost nothing to do with Java. JavaScript was given its name due to the success and awareness of Java at the time. - What is ECMAScript and how is it related to JavaScript?
ECMAScript was created by the Ecma international organization to establish a standard for how JavaScript works so that various pieces of software claiming to support JavaScript were talking about the same language.

What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
There is none. Just the first four letters. -
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
It’s a standard that Js follows.
-
A program is a set of instructions, telling a computer what to do according to certain rules set forth in an abstracted language.
-
Programming introduces complexity to the simplicity of native CPU commands. The importance of mastering programming is to keep the complexity at bay, keep the program orderly and efficient.
-
Programming languages are tools that come as close to actual languages as it is possible without sacrificing the logic and clarity required to run a program. Programming languages help programmers focus on the main task, without having to bother with details like allocating memory, or having to tell the program what do at each possible outcome of a calculation. Instead we can combine and omit a lot of things to make programs concise and readable to humans as well as processors.
-
The relation between Java and Javascript is merely the name. When Javascript gained popularity, creators of another emerging language decided to name their language Java. They hoped their language would profit from Javascript’s success and take a piece of the pie.
-
ECMAScript is the standard that defines what Javascript is. This makes it like an alternative name for the same language. The standard was established by the organization ECMA, hence the name ECMAScript.
- A program is a set of instructions for a computer to execute to perform actions.
- Regarding programming complexity, it is best to program as simply, cleanly, and clearly as possible.
- Programming languages are a way for people to program and communicate with computers.
- There is little connection between Java and Javascript except the letters ‘Java’.
- Javascript is a scripting language. ECMAScript is a specification that was created to standardize Javascript.
- A computer is a machine that needs someone to drive it with a set of instructions.
2.The less complex the written instructions the better it is to complete the task and have the data in control to be able to make any changes.
3.Program languages are there to assist the programmer to create the necessary commands that make the programming convenient and actionable by the computer.
4.A marketing ploy as the two have no similarities
5.ECMA script and JAVAscript are the the two names for the same language
- A program is a collection of instructions programmed using programming languages by a programmer.
- A program might be extremality complex if built without indentation and also although computers are strong machines they’re a bit dependent of someone to tell them what to do.
- JavaScript has a lot of functions, specially the arithmetical ones such sum and subtraction; you also able to create customs functions.
- None, JavaScript got its name as a marketing strategy.
- A standard to be follow by the JavaScript community.
-
What is a program? A program is an idea translated into text by the programmer as a set of instructions for the machine to follow.
-
What can you say about complexity in programming?
Programs are derived from a set of intentions. It may be that the instructions created by the developer perform the intended task, however, it may also be that the instructions to may not deliver the intended results. Programming is said to be complex and some manage this by using a set of well defined and understood techniques to keep themselves on track.
3.What function do programming languages have?
Computer programming language removed the tedious tasks of feeding lots of little bits of information and a slow pace into a machine for processing. The language allows for defined commands to instruct
a set of directions for an intended result that other programmers may read and understand.
4.What is the relationship between Java and Javascript? The similarity is due to the Java name only. The 2 programs are unrelated. Java was popular at the time so the thought was to incorporate Java into this program’s name.
5.What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript? Both names are interchangeable. The ECMA directed standardization of Javascript after its originally intended use on the Netscape platform grew and spanned across the web and outside of its original environment.

4. They have almost nothing to do with eachother.
5. Its the standard for javascript, they are the same language.

What can you say about complexity in programming?
Because the computer is pedantic and dumb, programming is fundamentially tedius and frustrating. The fundamental rules is simple and clear, but programs built on top of these rules tend to become complex enougth to introduce their own rules of complexity. -
What function do programming languages have?
We can use names and words instead of bits to build a program. -
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Java is a name-rip off from Javascript. Someone thought it was a good idea to try to ride along on the Javascript success -
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript is the standardisation of JavaScript and it is exactly the same thing.
