1.Set of instrictions that tells to the PC what to do.
2.If we make simple codes that everyone can understand - programing can’t be complex.
3.The function of programing language is to be easy to read , understand and write code for programer - so he can easier give to the computer all instrictions that he like for some specific program.
4.They are totally different languages - When JavaScript came - Java was already popular.
5.ECMAScript is same wit JavaScript -and it was made for standardization -to be a standard version of JavaScript .

What is a program? - A program is many things, for example 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? - Programming size and complexity can create problems that take lots of troubleshooting to solve.
What function do programming languages have?? - A program can combine an enormous number of simple actions to do very complicated things.
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript? - There isn’t much, they are different languages and only have similar names for marketing purposes.
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript? - It is the same thing with a different name.

What is a program?
A set of instructions that tells a computer what to do. A program can do very simple actions or calculations very fast when compared to humans. A complex program can be written if a lot of simple actions are combined.
What can you say about complexity in programming?
Writing a program is simple and manageable if the scope of the program is limited and with very few unique tasks. The size of complexity of the program can easily grow out of hand if the scope is large with a lot different unique tasks.
What function do programming languages have?
It functions as a tool that allow programmers to write instructions that a computer understands.
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
There are no relationship between Java and Javascript.
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
EMAscipt is a Javascript standard. It defines how to write a Javascipt program. EMAscript standard allows an individual to distinguish between a Java program and a Javascript program.

A set of precise instructions ,or orders or commands, telling a computer exactly what to do.
-
When programming the number of orders, commands and also objects and applications involved and interconnected easily tend to increase making the script itself more and more complex, and eventually a complete mess impossible to understand even by who has wrote. It can be dangerous if something must be redone. Thus, it’s very important to keep it’s under control and in the simplest way. At this regard, it is recommended to follow the widely uses conventions or “best-practices” when writing.
-
Programming languages translate commands understood by humans in a language undertandable by machine.

There is no relation at all. Just marketing branding of the first JavaScript creators.
-
After and due to his adoption outside Netscape, an ancient web browser, a standard document was written to describe the way the Javascript language should work so that the various pieces of software could relate each other. ECMAScript standard, as the document names says, is an amount of rules, conventions and best practices to standarize how the language should be use in order to facilitate interaction between programs.

Complexity in programming and keeping programs under control is the main problem. And that’s why many programmers believe to stick to a small set of rules in order to manage the complexity of the programs.
-
The functions programming languages have is to give instructions to the computer, take care of uninteresting details, allows the programmer to define their own building blocks and makes those blocks easy to compose.

There is no relation between the two. The name similarity was inspired for marketing reasons and nothing else.

ECMAScript is a scripting-language specification standardized by Ecma International. It was created to standardize JavaScript to help foster multiple independent implementations. JavaScript has remained the most widely used implementation of ECMAScript since the standard was first published, with other implementations including JScript and ActionScript. ECMAScript is commonly used for client-side scripting on the World Wide Web, and it is increasingly being used for writing server applications and services using Node.js

“It is a piece of text typed by a programmer,

in the computer’s memory, yet it controls the actions performed on this same

Without care, a program’s size and complexity will grow out of control,
confusing even the person who created it-“building your own

Complexity in programming comes from the fact that with programming you can make a computer (which excels at doing simple things fast) to do complex things fast. As stated in the book: “the art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity.”

Programming languages make the tasks that the computer does more understandable to programmers by e.g. omitting burdensome details and organizing tasks to building blocks that are easy to define and compose. In a way, they make computers speak a human language.

Java and JavaScript don’t have anything else to do with each other than both of them being programming languages. The name JavaScript was adopted mainly for marketing reasons, since at the time Java was in the headlines, and the people who named JavaScript thought the similarities between the names would bring success to JavaScript as well.

ECMAScript and JavaScript are technically different names for the same programming languages, and the names can be used interchangeably. Ecma International organization did the standardization (ECMAScript standard) to describe the way the JavaScript language should work, so that the softwares claiming to support it would know about the language.
