Program is a piece of text and symbols typed in certain way by programmer to make computer to execute certain tasks.

Without care a program can grow out of control in size and complexity. Keeping programs under control is the main problem of programming. The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity.

It helps to omit details, provides convenient building blocks, allows you to define your own building blocks, and makes those blocks easy to compose.

Is a building of thought. 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 computerâs memory, yet it controls the actions performed on this same memory.

Programs can do very complicated things, even to grow out of control. Depends on what they are made for and howâŚ
3.
To find a sequence of instructions that will automate the performance of a task on a computer, often for solving a given problem.
4.
Nothing really, only the name is similar⌠They took the name from the Java programming language, maybe because of marketing interests.
5.
Two names for the same language. They wrote a document in order to describe the way how JavaScripct language should work. Making sure that various software which claimed to support JavaScript, were actually talking the same language.

- Program is a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

- A program is many things. It is a piece of text typed by a programmer.
A program is a building of thought. It is costless to build, it is weightless, and it grows easily under our typing hands. - If the programmer follows the rules and best practices, he will be in a comfort zone.Even writing simple programs required much cleverness and discipline. Complex ones were nearly inconceivable.
- 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.

What can you say about complexity in programming?
The complexity in programming is represented by the difficulty you write a program and what a program can do.
The complexity about writing a Code Line has decreased since the early stages of programming. However the complexity of building new applications has grown way beyond imaginable in the early days. -
What function do programming languages have?
The function of a programming language is to create a program based on the code lines written by the programmer. The program will run on a computer and will compute the inputs given by the human or other programs. -

What is a program?
A program is a piece of text typed by the programmer. Programs consist of expressions and statements, which must follow the rules of a defined uniform syntax. The instructions in a program are the directing force telling the computer exactly what to do. -
What can you say about complexity in programming?
Computers can only do very straightforward and easy things, but they are really fast at it. With a combination of very simple instructions a program can do very complex things. A programmer must be very careful with the design of a complex program, because complexity can grow out of control in large programs, if they are not well designed. The main task of programming is controlling complexity. Complex tasks are subdued to several easy tasks in order to keep a better overview. Sometimes a programmer has to decide between a short and complex code, which is very fast, and a longer easy to understand code, which is not so fast. Since computers are very fast today it is better to choose the code, which is easy to read and to maintain, in most cases. But on the other hand a programmer should not fear the complexity of a problem too much. A programmer should not be too narrow-minded and only rely on a very small set of well-understood techniques, because new problems often require the usage of new innovative programming techniques to develop a new solution. -
What function do programming languages have?
Most of the programming nowdays is done in high-level programming languages. A programming language is an artificially constructed language to instruct computers. The biggest advantage of high-level programming languages is the good readability for humans. In order make the computer understand the expressions and statements in a program, a parser has to transform the code of this program into a machine-readable data structure, that reflects the structure of the code in this program. Of course one could even write the program code in assembly, which is a very machine-near and very fast programming language, but the problem is, that the programmer would easily get lost in details and this would increase the required time to develop this program enormously. -
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Although JavaScript has almost nothing to do with the programming language Java, the names are similar. JavaScript was being introduced in 1995, when Java was being heavily marketed and gaining popularity. So the name JavaScript was inspired more by marketing considerations rather than good judgement. -
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
After the adoption of JavaScript outside of Netscape, 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 â they are two names for the same language.

Computers are not complex, so programmers try to tell computers to do complex things by dumbing them down to very simple, easy to understand step by step instructions. Programmers often use simple rules (such as âbest practicesâ) methods to ensure computers can do complex tasks while keeping the programming itself as simple as possible.

A programming language is a syntax used by programmers to communicate with computers using a simple language that the computer can understand, using its own vocabulary and syntax.

What can you say about complexity in programming?
Programming means giving, writing instructions but there are many ways to do that, and in some cases it depends on our language of origin or mindset. Programming means also being able to master complexity throught out the instructions. Successful program are often successful ways to describe complexity and organize it in a meaningful and intuitive way. -
Their function is to translate the instructions you want to give in a constructed language that is also meaningful to others but also allows to express new concepts and ideas.
