1, What is a program?
A programme is a set of instructions that the programmer creates to tell the computer what to do.
2, What can you say about complexity in programming?
A Programme dose lots of simple tasks to do a complex job. Programming has simple and clear rules but when building programmes, you end up creating your own rules on top of rules and you can create a very complex situation very fast which can be hard to get out of, you should keep it as simple as possible and become skilled at controlling complexity.
3, What function do programming languages have?
It makes it possible for people to give instructions to a computer to perform tasks in a language that is easier to understand than inputting binary manually as people use to do in the old days.
4, What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Just the name which was adopted to benefit from java’s popularity
5, What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascrip
ECMAScript standard was a javascript document detailing how javascript should work, ECMAScript and javascript can be used to describe one another
- A program tells the computer what to do, and is a piece of text typed by a programmer.
- A good program is made simple in its complexity.
- The program language makes its easyer to write a program.

What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
It is the same thing.
- a program is a set of instruction to tell the computer what to do
- a program can address complex situation combining a set of simple instructions to the computer. Complexity in programming code should be avoided where possible to keep it readable and efficient
- programming language has the function to verbalize the instructions to the computer (instead of 1 and 0 commands), improve the readability and ease/power of execution for the programmer.
- java and javascript have nothing in common
- ECMAScript and Javascript are the same thing
Key point: Don’t confuse computing speed with intelligence. Computers remain dumb machine, which makes the of act of programming a complex balancing act between the programming language rules and the dumbness of computers.

1. What is a Program?
A set of precise instructions that tells the computer what to do.
2. What can you say about Complexity?
A successful programmer will manage/control the complexity of a program, as it grows the program becomes more difficult to read so structuring the code correctly and as simple as possible will minimalize the complexity.
3. What function do programming languages have?
They allow the programmer to communicate with the computer to enable it to perform functions and execute actions at a higher level and faster than we would manually have to do.

- A program is text that is data stored on a computer’s memory which then tells how that memory should be managed and what it should do with the memory.
- A program can be complex or it can be simple as to what it must accomplish. However, the code written within the program should be kept as clean as possible. Aiming to make sure not to be too complex for even its creator.
- The function of a programming language is to help the programmer communicate actions that the computer must do, on a higher level.
- Java and Javascript are only related by name. They are two separate languages. When Javascript was coming out, it’s developers decided to ride the marketing wave of the popular language Java.
- ECMAScript is the standardized document stating how Javascript would work. Written by the Ecma International Organization, it is also another name for Javascript. They are one in the same.

Programming itself is complex. The basic building blocks may not be that difficult to comprehend but when stacking them together to create a large, multi-faceted application it may be challenging to keep hold of everything.
-
Programming languages speak to the browser or computer in general and give it instructions on what action(s) to perform.
-
JavaScript and Java are unrelated. JavaScript came later and copied the name, in a sense, in an attempt to gain attention and a place in the market.
-
EMCAScript is another name for JavaScript. It is a set of standards defined by an independent group to govern the way in which JavaScript should operate. It gives a guideline on the standard procedures that JavaScript runs by so there is some form of consensus on the language and how it is expected to be used.
