A program is a set or precise instructions telling a computer what to do
as a computer is similar to a work horse; can be used to do the heavy lifting
that would be taking ‘forever’ to do by hand.-
the complexity in programming is a skill to be learned - often the potential
of a great program is made boring and ineffective. ‘best practices’ tend to limit
the programmer of their actions and can restrict him within their ‘safe little zone’ -
programming languages are tools to instruct the computer to perform specific actions
the better the programming language is the easier it is for the programmer to tell the computer
about the action needed to be performed by the computer. -
The only relationship Java and Javascript has is the similar name taken for marketing
purposes, ‘when JavaScript was being introduced, the Java language was veing heavily marketed
gaining popularity’ and someone decided to use the Java popularity for an effective marketing strategy. -
ECMAScript and JavaScript are two names for the same language.
-
- A program is a set of precise instructions inputted by a programmer telling a computer what to do.
- It is easy to over-complicate a computer program. Keeping it reletively simple will help avoid the potential pitfalls of too many interactions between functions.
- Enabling the end user to interact with a computer.
- There is no relationship between java and javascript.
- ECMAScript is the standardised version of Javascript, providing the required information for programmers to follow.
- What is a program?
A program is a list of instructions called functions that are used to tell a computer what to do. - What can you say about complexity in programming?
The complexity of programming comes as you get further and further into the program. - What function do programming languages have?
The function of programming languages are to tell your computer what to do. - What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
They are completely different. - What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript is the standard process of the javascript language.
- A Program is a set of percise instructions for the computer.
- Programs can become complex easily and should be kept as simple as possible.
- Its a birdge between instructions for computers and human intended action.
- Java and Javascript are different languages
- ECMAScript is the same as JavaScript
- What is a program?
To me a program is a set of easy or complicated instructions given to a computer to be executed in order to achieve certain result.
- What can you say about complexity in programming?
Complexity in programing needs to be kept under control, otherwise it grows to a level where not even the programmer would understand it. The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity.
- What function do programming languages have?
It helps to simplify the actions that the computer has to take, it helps to omit details & it provides convenient building blocks, it allows you to compose and easily define your own.
- What is the relationship between Java and JavaScript?
JavaScript programming language has almost nothing to do with Java, back in 1995 Java was being heavily marketed so someone thought it would be a great idea to ride along.
- What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript is basically the same programming language as JavaScript, but this first one was initially developed as a document written to describe the way JavaScript language should work for an easy integration, setting a way to standardization.

What is a program?
A computer program is a collection of instructions that can be executed by a computer to perform a specific task.
A computer program is usually written in a programming language. From the program in its human-readable form of source code, a compiler or assembler can derive machine code - a form consisting of instructions that the computer can directly execute. Alternatively, a computer program may be executed with the aid of an interpreter.
2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
Programming complexity (or software complexity ) is a term that includes many properties of a piece of software, all of which affect internal interactions. Complex, describes the interactions between a number of entities. As the number of entities increases, the number of interactions between them would increase exponentially, and it would get to a point where it would be impossible to know and understand all of them. Similarly, higher levels of complexity in software increase the risk of unintentionally interfering with interactions and so increases the chance of introducing defects when making changes. In more extreme cases, it can make modifying the software virtually impossible.
3. What function do programming languages have?
Programming languages are formal languages comprising a set of instructions that produce various kinds of output in a computer. Programming languages are used in computer programming to implement algorithms.
4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Java in Javascript has nothing to do with Java language itself–there’s absolutely no co-relation. But, it’s a known fact that Javascript was inspired by Java , along with Scheme and self-programming languages. JavaScript was created by Brendan Eich in 1995.
Java was developed at Sun Microsystems, JavaScript was developed at Netscape. It was originally called LiveScript. The -Script suffix suggests that it is not a real programming language, that a scripting language is less than a programming language.
Java applications are run in a virtual machine or web browser while JavaScript is run on a web browser. Java code is compiled whereas while JavaScript code is in text and in a web page. JavaScript is an OOP scripting language, whereas Java is an OOP programming language.
5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript is a Standard for scripting languages such as JavaScript , JScript, etc. It is a trademark scripting language specification. JavaScript is a language based on ECMAScript . … JavaScript is considered as one of the most popular implementations of ECMAScript .
ActionScript and JScript are other languages that implement the ECMAScript . JavaScript was submitted to ECMA for standardization but due to trademark issues with the name Javascript the standard became called ECMAScript .
- What is a program?
A program is text that can in theory be written in notepad. You have different languages which are a way to abstract programming so a programmer can be more efficient when working. - What can you say about complexity in programming?
It’s on the core level very complex in the sense that it is zero and ones. And that to me is really complex and obscure, but by using programming languages, it simplifies the process more - What function do programming languages have?
Simplifying the writing of code, although some languages is more obscure than others, it’s way easier than writing lots of zeros and ones - What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
There is no relationship there. - What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
It’s a javascript language
-
A program is the act of constructing a program—a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do.
-
The fundamental rules are simple and clear, but programs built on top of these rules tend to become complex enough to introduce their own rules and complexity.
-
The function of a programming language helps the programmer by allowing them to talk about the actions that the computer has to perform on a higher level.
-
JavaScript has almost nothing to do with the programming language named Java.
-
ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably—they are two names for the same language.
-
What is a program?
A program is many things. 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?
controlling complexity is a difficult skill -
What function do programming languages have?
they allow us to better communicate with the computer to make it do what we want it to do -
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
The similar name was inspired by marketing considerations rather than good judgment. When JavaScript was being
introduced, the Java language was being heavily marketed and was gaining
popularity. Someone thought it was a good idea to try to ride along on this
success. Now we are stuck with the name.
- What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
In practice, the
terms ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably—they are two
names for the same language
- A program is set of instructions written by a programmer and interpret by computer, with intent to achieve some goal.
- Programming is about controlling complexity. The fundamental rules are simple and clear, but complexity tend to grow if new solutions are need to be implement over legacy code. The main rule is to follow standards in order to make code easily readable by an user.
3.Programming languages are meant to be readable by humans (high level), whereas the code is converted to machine language ( low level).
4.There isn’t any relationship between Java and JavaScript. Name is due to marketing. - JavaScript is the language and EMCAScript is the standard for that language.The use of the term is interchangeable with javascript.
- A program is a set of instructions given to a computer to perform specific task.
- programming has fundamental rules which are easy and clear to understanding but building programs on top of these rules can become complex.
- they help humans communicate with machine language both effectively and efficiently
- no relationship, it was just a marketing scheme
- A standard document written to describe the way a JavaScript should work. ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably.
- a set of instructions
- keep it simple, avoid complexity
- programming languages translate commands understood by humans in language machine.
- There is none, it has almost nothing to do with eachother.
- ECMAScript provides the rules, details and guidelines that a scripting language must observe to be considered ECMAScript compliant. ECMAScript is a standard, a scripting language.
-
A program is a piece of software that has been compiled from a file written in one of the programming languages by a compilator into computer code that computer will understand and execute
-
Complexity in programming can vary greatly, same code that results in the same output can be written many different ways, common tasks in programming can be simplified
-
Programming languages function to create a program that will run on a computer under specific operating system and solve specific needs, like doing math, surfing web etc
-
Java and JavaScript have no relationship, names similar just by accident
-
ECMAScript is another name of JavaScript , was given it after ECMA International (an organization) did the standardization of the JavaScript language
- A program is a piece of text typed by a programmer
- Fundementals of the programming is easy but it tend to get complex if it won’t be controlled properly
3.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 - There’s no relationship between them, just similar names
- EMCAscript 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.
-
A program is text typed by a programmer. It is the brain electrons to the computer machine that makes all the components work together by command.
-
Programming is an art. It needs to be every single bit inch perfect or it just won’t work properly. It’s complexity gives it it’s beautiful, but simple end product.
-
The language of the human to interact with what commands etc the computer needs to do.
-
Only really marketing purpose.
-
It is a version of Java Script. It was the one that was widely used between 2000 - 2010 in the wake of V.4 but V.4 was later abandoned in 2008
- Program is a set of actions written in the specific language for computer to take.
- Programming is very complex. But you can write a code in indeliberate manner so the computer will take the right action as well as you can write it in almost English for the same actions.
- Programming languages are used to “speak” with the computer.
4.There is no - It’s the same, it was created to define a set of rules to bring standartization.
- A text type by a programmer that gives certain instructions wit the purpose to solve a problem.
- It can get complex and messy, but the idea is to create complex programs in a simple and nice way.
- The programming languages allows us to communicate with the computer, so then the computer can perform the actions that we command.
- Almost none besides the name, it was named similar one after the other for marketing purposes.
- ECMAScript is the standard for Javascript, it is same thing.
Can any one tell me how and answer is worked out on the next Quiz Lesson, There inst a link to this course Discussion or anything that i know of.
Can any one show the workings of the answer on Modulas?
Wrecking my head and ill not sleep until ive worked it out haha.
Cheers Rob.
1.Program is a list of instructions.
2.Simple is better.
3.To do things we want computer to do for us.
4.Four letters.
5.Standard rules for JS
1.)
A computer program is a collection of instructions that can be executed by a computer to perform a specific task. It is usually written by a computer programmer in a programming language.
2.)
Programming complexity (or software complexity) is a term that includes many properties of a piece of software, all of which affect internal interactions. There is a distinction between the terms complex and complicated. Complicated implies being difficult to understand but with time and effort, ultimately knowable. Complex, on the other hand, describes the interactions between a number of entities. As the number of entities increases, the number of interactions between them would increase exponentially, and it would get to a point where it would be impossible to know and understand all of them.
3.)
A programming language is a type of written language that tells computers what to do in order to work. Programming languages are used to make all the computer programs and computer software.
Usually, the programming language uses real words for some of the commands, so that the language is easier for a human to read
4.)
Java is a programming language invented by James Gosling and developed by Sun Microsystems.
It was first released in 1995
Java is an object-oriented programming language.
It uses objects to perform actions based on relations between objekts.
–
In the early days of the Internet, around 1990, Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator
were the two most popular web browsers in use by the general public.
A developer named Brendan Eich at Netscape, Inc. was able to create a scripting language that could instruct the computer on how to interact with the user upon receiving user input.
JavaScript is an object-oriented scripting language.
It uses the objects to perform actions similar in Java.
In a nutshell, when it comes to how each language is used, Java is typically used for all server side development, while JavaScript is reserved for developing client side scripts for functions like validation and interactivity.
5.)
The full form of ECMA is European Computer Manufacturer’s Association.
ECMAScript is a Standard for scripting languages such as JavaScript, JScript, etc. It is a trademark scripting language specification.
JavaScript is a language based on ECMAScript. A standard for scripting languages like JavaScript, JScript is ECMAScript.
JavaScript is considered as one of the most popular implementations of ECMAScript.
