- Programming allows you to do things in seconds that would take forever by hand. However a program can become so complex in time that it can be very hard to navigate through it,think of a maze. Without care the complexity will get out of control. Consider how many components comprise such a system and then you have to make sure that all of the components in the system do their individual part but also click with one another in such a way that everything works together.

It helps omit details, provides convenient building blocks, allows to define your own building blocks and makes those blocks easy to compose. - The only relation they share is that JavaScript has Java in itâs name because of a marketing scheme in which they wanted to take advantage of the rising popularity of Java in the past.

It is text written by a programmer, it commands a computer to do things, it puts data in the computer memory that is used by the computer to carry out next actions, it combines large amounts of data and takes action based on that data, it represents the programmerâs thoughts and combines them, it must be learned by the programmer through practice. - What can you say about complexity in programming?
Complexity in programming exists because of a maze of new and existing rules that programs must comply with and programmers must control while maintaining the art programming. - What function do programming languages have?
They construct the programme, and is the way that programmers can think and communicate about what the computer is supposed to be doing. - What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
They both interact with the web, but thatâs about all. Javascript was around first, but when the inventors of Java created their programme they picky-backed off the popularity of the Javascript name. - What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript is synonymous with Javascript, which is a standardized language that allows software programs using Javascript/ECMAScript to communicate with each other since it a language that allows for almost everything, and this makes it difficult for software to interact together.

- What is a program?
A program is ordered typed text sets of data, itâs a fabricated language, a set of coded blocks containing sequential functional instructions, rules and data, that are delivered to a computerâs memory storage known as source code. These programmed instructions/rules are crafted in a language native to the computer and although theyâre stored in the computerâs internal memory, they form the key components that conclusively control many of the corresponding actions that the computer will ultimately perform.
The language of choice for Web 1.0 is HTML, for GUI for webpage design. For further user operations Web 2.0 or Javascript was created to enable more functionality, like adding programs to webpages. These applications can be interacted with, directly within the page, therefore not requiring a new page to reload. Javascript is a system that interoperates on top of the existing Web 1.0 HTML coding.
- What can you say about complexity in programming?
In programming, complexity exists due to the added layer of instructions and rules the computer is receiving beyond the basic HTML coding for a webpage. As you build upon this basic source coding with Javascript, and the program grows in size, care needs to be observed as complexity can get out of control. The definite aim of the programme language writer is to keep their source code instruction/rule creation complexity compliant and yielding to parameters that produce the required outputs whilst maintaining structured control of complexity.
- What function do programming languages have?
Programming languages, or code blocks, provide the basis of logic for a computers system to execute specific tasks requested in the order of the request(s) given. This is known as the input. The program will perform these functions by gathering the necessary components together, that have been requested in the order instructed, to give a completed result, an output.
Conclusion: The functions enclose the information used by the computer system, in the processes of creation from their input(s) to the final computational output(s) arrival.
- What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
The name âJavaâ was a brainstorm introduction fielded by marketing departments wanting to promote this new form of script coding development back in 1995. The Java name has nothing to do with the Web 2.0 creation that was built on top of the existing Web 1.0 HTML script code for basic webpage design and layout. As this name was marketed with great velocity, it created a solid brand recognition, for interested users, developers, with this new ingenious type of source code writing. Therefore, to this day, it remains married and congruently connected to the Web 2.0 process of script writing, thus forming the recognised application word of Java+script = "Javascript."
- What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
In practice, the terms ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeablyâthey are two names for the same language.
The âEuropean Computers Manufacturing Associationâ (ECMA) devised and set a standard, of a written document to outline the Javascript coding language construction and operations. This standard was to ensure these guidelines for the production and manufacturing of software applications, that were to work synergistically with this new dominate Web 2.0 Javascript computer coded language. The goal was for manufacturers to understand how to build software that would seamlessly integrate and operate efficiently and effectively with Javascript. The standard produced the result that was so complete, that the Javascript name and the ECMAScript name became interchangeable, as the keywords to describe the Web 2.0 functional operations, known as Javascript.

A program is a set of instructions that tell a computer to do something specific.
What can you say about complexity in programming?
A computer can handle a lot of complexity and doesnât really care if the programmer write the code in a way that may seem much more complex, a lot of times a simpler codebase may still be executed the same way as more complex written code for the computer. Complexity is from the perspective of the programmer that is most likely human much more important when a human may tend to get lost in too complex code because of our restricted brains. We canât really handle that much information as for example a machine can at the same time so we want to avoid too complex codebases so we can handle the development and continuously maintaining and further develop the program in the future.
What function do programming languages have?
Programming language have the function that it let us humans communicate in a language that is closer to our normal spoken language and then transform that to a language a machine understands better in bytecode. The programming language is like an interface that lets us humans communicate effectively with a computer.
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Nothing more than that Javascript tried in the beginning to ride a bit on the Java language successes in marketing. The language functionality between the languages is in no way connected, it is two different language that letâs us communicates with computers in different ways.
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
It can be seen as synonymously with Javascript. ECMAScript was invented when Javascript started to spread and get used a lot on the web, the ECMAScript was a set of standards that explained how Javascript should work. This allowed the entire space that used Javascript to in a way know exactly what it meant by supporting it and overall get lesser traction between different actors in the space. Like Ethereumâs token standards let the entire space grow when everyone knew to some extent what to expect, the Javascript ECMASCript standards also meant the entire space could evolve.

A program is basically a set of precise instructions (artificially constructed language) which is used to instruct computers (tells a computer what to do).
- What can you say about complexity in programming?
The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity, as a program can be a combination of an enormous number of simple actions designed to do many very complicated things. Typically, the larger the programâs size, the more complexity (as well as confusion), so keeping a program under control is often the biggest challenge.
- What function do programming languages have?
A good programming language allows the programmer to talk about the actions that the computer has to perform, using convenient building blocks that are easy to compose. Every programming language lets the programmer create blocks of code that perform tasks (functions), and these tasks (instructions) create an âoutputâ from an âinputâ.
- What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
The programming language itself is named Java. When the Java language was first introduced, it was marketed heavily under the name Javascript, so after gaining rapid
popularity, some thought it was a good idea to just stick with the adopted name.
*What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
The Ecma International organization created a standard document to describe the way the JavaScript language should work so that various pieces of software could support/use JavaScript, by talking the âsame languageâ. This is called the ECMAScript standard, and the

The fundamental rules are simple and clear but complexity can quickly creep in. Care must be taken to ensure that a programâs size and complexity do not grow out of control.
