What is a program?
A set of instructions that makes the computer do something?

What can you say about complexity in programming?
Code piles up the more advanced programming you’re doing. So the more advanced programming you’re doing the more important it is that you keep your code clean and neat.
Messy code makes it harder to track down why a command isn’t functioning.

What function do programming languages have?
To translate zeros and ones into something a human who isn’t a number-savant can read and write

What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
None except for that one named itself after the other trying to ride the hype

What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
They are basically the same, but ECMAscript was written to be used as a standarization of Javascript

It is a set of typed text that performs actions to produce an outcome.

Code used in programming is simply a shorter version of what the code actually computes within it. If you were to write out the long form of each line of code, it would be very time consuming to construct, allow more chances for errors, and more difficult to trace down where the errors are in the code because of how complex it would be.

It allows the programmer to compute tasks at a high level, while maintaining a simpler form and seamlessly endless use cases.

The only relationship between Java & Java script, is the word Java.

ECMAscript is just a standardized name of JavaScript that could be used outside of Netscape on other pieces of software.

2.
Adding up simple and fundamental tasks together in a program might generate a difficult and complex set of rules for the computer and humans to understand and follow. The best way of programming is to keep it as simple and understandable as possible, with strict rules known as best practices.
3.
To bridge between ordinary human language and computational code, to make more readable for humans and to apply its function more efficiently for computers. It gives the directions to computers, of how it should behave, translating to binary language to the computers.
4.
No relation whatsoever, it just has made opportunistic use of marketing tools of Java during its launching, using the same name and confusing users of Javascript.
5.
It is the description of 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. Actually ECMA and Javascript are interchangeable names for the same programming language.

  1. A program is a way to communicate with a piece of hardware.

  2. Complexity should be avoided where possible. Keeping things simple is the best strategy.

  3. The most basic use of programming languages is to make a connection between people and electronic machines. Programming languages creates a human-friendly layer between our language(English) and the machine language(binary).

  4. They are both programming languages. Javascript piggy backed onto the popularity of Java by using the name Java, they are different companies.

  5. It is a standard document that describes how Javascript should work so so that the various pieces of software that claimed to support JavaScript were actually talking about the same language.

  1. A program is a set of rules or direction written in a programming language in order to instruct a computer/server what to do.
  2. The fundamental rules of programming are simple and clear, but application built on top also introduce their own rules and complexity even for the programmer is the application grows out of control.
  3. Programming languages are more readable for human versus unreadable binary number. A programming language can also provides convenient building blocks such as loop or defined your own building blocks.
  4. Javascript have almost nothing to do with Java but more as a marketing when Java was becoming popular.
  5. ECMAScript is the standardization on how Javascript should work and just another name for Javascript.

  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    a great program is subdued—made simple in its complexity.

  3. What function do programming languages have?
    part of the power of programming languages is that they can take care of uninteresting details for us.

Answer:

  1. Program is a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do.
  2. The fundamental rules of programming are simple. However, when you build on top of those rules, the complexity increases. You have a high chance of losing yourself inside the maze of your program.
  3. The primary function of programming languages is to give instructions to a machine ( computer ). It is a set of data controlling a set of data.
  4. The only relationship Javascript language has to Java is they both share a similar name. The creators of Javascript decided to use this name due to marketing reasons. At the time of creation, language Java was heavily marketed and was rapidly gaining popularity, and creators of Javascript wanted to ride that wave.
  5. ECMAScript is just a standard provided by the Ecma International organization that did the standardization. On a practical level, ECMAScript and Javascript represent the same language.

  1. What is a program?
    a list of instructions to solve “problems” with a computer

  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    Programming should be made easy but can get easily complicated. Use the simplest, most efficient programming when possible and it almost makes it interoperable/readable for others.

  3. What function do programming languages have?
    Enables humans to read/write instructions without having to write in binary

  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    Very little relationship. Java was booming when javascript first came out so the name was chosen for marketing reasons

  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    ECMAScript is a set of standards/rules on how to implement javascript.

*** What is a program?**

  • A set of ‘precise’ instructions telling a computer what to do.

*** What can you say about complexity in programming?**

  • Programming is hard, its a building of thought, we are basically building small parts, and when they are combined they work together. The fundamental rules are not complicated, but without care a program’s size and complexity will grow immensely. Programming is an art, is the skill of controlling complexity.

*** What function do programming languages have?**

  • Programming languages helps the programmer to instruct actions that the computer has to perform on a higher level. They help to omit uninteresting details and provides convenient building blocks.

*** What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?**

  • None, they are two different programming languages. Javascript took its name only because at that time "Java’ was being heavily marketed.

*** What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?**

  • ECMAScript is a standard document that describes how JavaScript should work with different softwares so everyone speaks the same language.
    They are both two names for the same language.

  1. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?

Almost no relationship at all, Javascript was named because Java was at this time highly marketed and somone thougt it would be a good idea to “jump on that Train” and now we stuck on that name.

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

  4. Java is more the programming language, while Javascript is the scripting language. In principle, JavaScript is more concise and consists for example only of text

  5. In an effort to have JavaScript recognized as an official standard, Netscape has had the language standardized by the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA), with the name changed to ECMAScript for trademark reasons. The current version of JavaScript is version ECMAScript 2018

  2. The higher the complexity of a program the more likely it is that the program will become faulty. It is easy for a programmer to become lost in his or her program.
  3. Programming languages help to connect the instructor with the machine. The programmer lays out instructions for a machine using a language, and this is how the language is used to create a set of instructions for the machine.
  4. The creators of JavaScript basically used the name “Java” to ride the coattails of an already well market performing language. There is apparently no relation aside from this.
  5. ECMAScript is the same as Javascript, just two different names. At one point ECMA, the company, came out and agreed a foundation for how all Javascript programs will interact with web-pages. This is now ECMAScript, the JavaScript we know today.
